Description
Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra or Kyivo-Pechers’ka Lavra (Ukrainian:
Києво-Печерська лавра, romanized: Kyievo-Pecherska lavra; Russian:
Киeво-Печерская лавра, romanized: Kiyevo-Pecherskaya lavra), also known as the
Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Eastern Orthodox Christian monastery
which gave its name to one of the city districts where it is located in Kyiv.
Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1051, the
Lavra has been a preeminent center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern
Europe. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral, it is inscribed as a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. The monastery complex is considered a separate national
historic-cultural preserve (sanctuary), the national status to which was
granted on 13 March 1996. The Lavra is not only located in another part of the
city, but is part of a different national sanctuary than Saint Sophia
Cathedral. While being a cultural attraction, the monastery is once again
active, with over 100 monks in residence. It was named one of the Seven Wonders
of Ukraine on 21 August 2007, based on voting by experts and the internet
community.
Currently, the jurisdiction over the site is divided between the state museum, National Kyiv-Pechersk Historic-Cultural Preserve, and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) as the site of the chief monastery of that Church and the residence of its leader, Onufrius, Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine.
