On March 18, 2023, the Vespers were simultaneously performed in three churches of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, all of them being completely filled with believers.

A parishioner of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Viktor Kushnir, announced this on his Facebook page, posting a photo from the service. “And many more are outside,” he added.

As the UOJ previously reported, a video was shown on the Web of how the Lavra was revived thanks to the monks of the UOC.
