Kaplica pw. Świętego Proroka Eliasza
Facts and practical information
Chapel dedicated to St. Prophet Elijah - a historic Orthodox branch chapel in Socy. It belongs to the parish of Protection of Mother of God in Puchły, in Narew decane of Warsaw-Bielsk diocese of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church.
The chapel was probably erected in the early twentieth century, mainly in order to store icons and church banners necessary for local ceremonies, such as village processions or blessing of fields. Partially preserved character of the church's interior indicates that the chapel in Soce may have existed even in the first half of the nineteenth century. In 1990 the chapel was thoroughly rebuilt, which made it possible to hold religious services there.
