Our Sad Church Affairs

There is probably not a single conscious Ukrainian indifferent to the matters of Ukrainian Orthodoxy, no matter what faith he adheres to. Evidence of this are frequent calls to the editorial office of The Day from not only Ukrainians, but even Canadians, Italians, and even Australians, asking, "What is going on there? Any progress? Any hope of a unification?" All in vain! To all appearances, Verkhovna Rada will unite sooner than our Orthodoxy. Because, if anything, the situation concerning the three churches shows no changes for the better.
Mysteries and Legends of the Cave Monastery in Chernihiv

The first caves in the north-central Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, the capital of the Chernihivo-Siverske Kingdom, were dug by monks of Rus as early as at the dawn of Christianity in Ukraine, in the 11th century.

However, scholars have established that almost all of the known caves were built for religious purposes: they were separately located cells of hermit monks (lodging cells and crypt-tombs, galleries and chapels).
