The rays of the setting sun filtering through clouds at a cemetery behind a country church near Mankota, in southern Saskatchewan.

St. John's (Billimun) church, the third on this site, opened in 1928. The Billimun ares was settled by Catholics who has moved from Germany to Russia, in what is now Ukraine, and then immigrated to Canada.

This is the third church built on a hillside, surrounded by farmland, and with a cemetery located behind the building. The church was built by settlers who came from what is now Ukraine, as religious intolerance grew following the Russian Revoluition.

This is the third church at this site. The area around it was settled by German-speaking people from the Crimea, in the early 1900s. This church opened in 1928, and closed in 1983.
