New photos of Sviatogorsk Lavra after shelling appear on the Internet
On October 6, 2022, new photos of the Sviatogorsk Lavra were published, showing the destruction that the shrine has suffered as a result of shelling and fires. The photos are posted on the Politics of the Country Telegram channel.
The photo features the entire territory of the monastery having been exposed to a large-scale destruction, with almost all the buildings damaged, the domes knocked down, and the trees destroyed.
Recall that Sviatogorsk Lavra has been shelled since March 2022. In June, the Lavra's All Saints' Monastery burned down. In September, a video of the Sviatogorsk Lavra appeared, which had been filmed from the destroyed bridge over the Seversky Donets.
As the UOJ wrote, the Sviatogorsk Lavra’s skete began to repair its hotel building.
