On April 10, 2024, various Kyiv communities shared photos and videos of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in bloom. This was reported on the Save_Lavra channel.
"It's interesting that all channels today are publishing photos from the Lavra as an example of blossoming Kyiv. Yes, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is the heart of the country," the message says.
As believers noticed, the monastery is flourishing alongside prayer.

As reported by the UOJ, a priest near the Lavra said, "In our prayers, we do not forget the journalists in captivity."
