In the Near Caves of the Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra – where the incorrupt relics of the venerable saints repose – the National Reserve has replaced the plaques bearing the saints’ names. which is evidenced by footage from a TSN video.
Where the saints had previously been identified in Church Slavonic, the labels have now been replaced with Ukrainian ones. For example, St. Ilya Muromets is now signed as “Illia Murovets.”
Also, on the updated plaques, the saints’ feast days are given not according to the old calendar style, but according to the new one.
Earlier, Minister T. Berezhna publicly boasted about how the Ministry of Culture had “returned the Lavra to its historical Ukrainian context.” At the entrance to the Near Caves, an inscription in Church Slavonic was dismantled and replaced with a Ukrainian-language one.
As the UOJ previously reported, the Ministry of Culture reopened the Lavra’s Near Caves – but only for groups, and by advance registration.
