Kiev - Pechersk Lavra - 1:33 AM, Dec. 18, 2007 |
Kiev - Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) is a fascinating piece of living history dating back to 1051. The Venerable Anthony, pious monk, settled in a cave on the western bank of the Dnieper. He was soon joined by his followers and their numbers began to quickly exceed the caves. Prince Izyaslav and other Kiev aristocracy were frequent visitors to the venerable Anthony and donate money to build a church and monastery outside ground. Since that time, the monastery has continued to grow and is still active today, serving as an important center of Orthodox Christianity and reflecting a fascinating lifestyle. |
