Furthermore, he collected various ecclesiastical fees from his parishioners.

The parish functioned that way until the liquidation of the Union of Brest.
Łykoszyn to niewielka wieś położona na południowowschodnim krańcu województwa lubelskiego. Swoimi korzeniami sięga co najmniej pierwszej połowy XV stulecia, kiedy to organizacyjnie przynależała do ziemi bełskiej, podległej książętom mazowieckim. W wyniku I rozbioru Łykoszyn znalazł się w monarchii austriackiej, następnie w księstwie warszawskim, a po Kongresie Wiedeńskim w Cesarstwie Rosyjskim. Ze względu na to, że pierwotna chrystianizacja terenów Łykoszyna związana była z ekspansją państwa ruskiego na ziemie nadbużańskie, jako pierwsza na tym terenie powstała parafia prawosławna, a po zawarciu unii – greckokatolicka. Wiadome jest, że parafia ta, podobnie jak i inne wspólnoty wiernych w ciągu pierwszych lat istnienia, otrzymała konieczne podstawy ekonomiczne i wyposażenie do obrzędowości unickiej. Pewne jest, że paramenty liturgiczne zmieniały się i były uzupełniane przez okres funkcjonowania parafii. Pod koniec XVIII wieku, gdy parafia Łykoszyn znalazła się pod zaborem austriackim, w wyniku reformy józefińskiej zlikwidowano jej samodzielność I jako cerkiew filialną włączono do parafii pw. Przemienienia Pańskiego w Nabrożu, w strukturze której funkcjonowała do likwidacji unii.

Dzisiejszy Nedeżów położony jest w gminie Tomaszów Lubelski, w północnej części powiatu tomaszowskiego, w województwie lubelskim. Pierwsza wzmianka o niej pochodzi z 1409 roku. W okresie staropolskim administracyjnie związana była z powiatem i województwem bełskim. Po I rozbiorze Polski znalazła się w monarchii Habsburgów, w okresie napoleońskim w Księstwie Warszawskim, a po Kongresie Wiedeńskim w zależnym od Rosji Królestwie Polskim. Pierwotnie funkcjonowała tam parafia prawosławna, a po zawarciu unii brzeskiej, unicka. Jako samodzielna jednostka kościelna przetrwała do końca XVIII wieku, kiedy została przez władze austriackie zdegradowana do miana cerkwi filialnej i włączona do parafii w Typinie, w której funkcjonowała do likwidacji unii. Przez pierwszy okres funkcjonowania parafia w Nedeżowie organizacyjnie przynależna była do dekanatu tyszowieckiego, a pod koniec XVII wieku do nowoutworzonej protopopii tomaszowskiej. Analizując protokoły powizytacyjne biskupów chełmskich, przedstawiono wygląd świątyni parafialnej i jej wyposażenie, a także zmiany jakie zachodziły w tym zakresie w badanym okresie. Ustalono, ze parochowi do utrzymania służyły grunty orne i łąki, dzięki którym prowadził gospodarstwo, a ponadto różnorodne opłaty od wiernych. Duchowny miał do swojej dyspozycji niewielką plebanię wraz z zabudowaniami gospodarczymi. W miarę możliwości określono beneficjum cerkiewne i pokazano zachodzące w nim zmiany w badanym okresie. Na koniec zwrócono uwagę na liczbę wiernych oraz odtworzono liczbę duszpasterzy pracujących w tej parafii.
