- Other info:
The Laura of the Caves in Kiev, which arose from a cave in deepforest, has never strived for the honour and recognition of the worldof vanity. On the contrary, it has sought out silence and anonymity, retreating under the earth by having chosen the strictest formof the ascetic life - dwelling in caves. Yet the need for its spirituality was so great that the all-conquering light of the spiritual attainments of the fathers of the Caves in Kiev tore forth from the bowels of the earth and its life-giving streams were poured out upon the surrounding lands, conveying the monastery"s glory to Holy Russia. «The holy monastic abode throughout its long historical path has known much sadness, yet through the intercession of the Most Pure Mother of God and the prayers of the wonderworkers of the Caves it has vanquished all of these troubles… Today, as we reflect upon the fates of the world and our homeland, it is essential to draw strength from thefount of the monastery»s spirituality, study the life and way of salvation of the holy saints of the Caves, to call upon their aid and wisdom. The grace of this source will never dry up for ages, as the beneficence of the Mother of God towards her gracious garden on earth - the holy monastery of the Caves in Kiev - will never dry up…", werethe words dedicated to the 950th anniversary of the Laura by Metropolitan Vladimir of Kiev and All Ukraine, the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the holy archimandrite of the Holy Assumption Laura of the Caves in Kiev.
