Photos of burned Sviatogorsk Lavra’s All Saints Skete published on the Web

The first photos were published on Facebook after the fire had destroyed the All Saints Skete of the Sviatogorsk Lavra in the Donetsk region.

“All that remains of the skete of all saints… a refectory and a house… Sviatogorsk…,” wrote the author of the photo, Igor Kravchenko.

As the UOJ reported earlier, the All Saints Skete of the Sviatogorsk Lavra caught fire from shelling.
