A few times. As long as you don't say that you are the dreaded "U" word, you'll be fine going there :rolleyes: wink

But seriously, yes that Monastery complex is quite a place to visit. The most interesting part is going through all of the caves where many Kyivan saints and monks are buried. Hopefully it will be a place of unity in the years to come.

But isn't that a cool picture? It is the Cathedral of the Assumption, if I am not mistaken. I was blown up big time in WWII by the Red Army and rebuilt within the past few years.

UC

In recent years they posted another picture like that one. It was just awesome. I wonder how many times they get to be blessed with such wonder?
