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.

Every day, Orthodox Christians gather for prayer vigils near the temple of St. Sergius of Radonezh to offer heartfelt prayers for their sanctuary.

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