Excursion to Lavra in Kiev, the Center of Orthodox Christianity

We participated in an optional excursion to Lavra. It is a complex of churches, monastery, seminary and caves where the relics of the saints are visited and prayed to. This is the view of Kiev on the way to Lavra.



The approach to Lavra.

Women must cover their heads in the churches and to visit the caves. Team members were joined by a few student leaders for our trip.

There are many active churches in the Lavra complex.

Our leaders, Svetlana, Tanya and Max.
