Description: NEW, 100% ORIGINAL, "Ukrainian carols in Kyiv-Pechersk lavra"1 Postal Block Ukrposhta issued in Ukraine on 22.12.2023. Support Ukraine! Buy stamps of Ukrainian philatelists! I have been actively dealing with Ukrainian stamps for more than 20 years. Buying from me you are guaranteed to receive impeccable quality and internal satisfaction from the transaction. This is evidenced by the numerous reviews of my happy customers. On January 7, 2022, the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine Epiphany held the Christmas service for the first time in the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which ended with the performance of Ukrainian carols.This event was the restoration of historical justice, because the OCU is the legal successor of the ancient Kyiv Metropolitanate, which owned the shrine for more than 600 years since its foundation.In addition, the Ukrainian language has finally returned to one of the largest Christian centers of our country, which is a significant contribution to the preservation of the national and spiritual identity of every citizen.In honor of this achievement, and on the occasion of the 950th anniversary of the founding of the Dormition Cathedral, we present a new postal issue - "Ukrainian carols in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra".The history of the temple, built in 1073–1078, is dramatic, because over the centuries it underwent significant changes. At the beginning of the 18th century, after a catastrophic fire, it was transformed into a Baroque one, and in 1941 it was destroyed by an explosion. And only in 2000, the cathedral was solemnly consecrated after a two-year reconstruction.The stories of the postal edition, created by the artist Mykolai Kochubei, tell about the unique history of the main Lavra Cathedral: from its foundation to its restoration, about the traditions of monasticism, which were established by monks Anthony and Theodosius of Pecherskyi, as well as about the return of the shrine after many years of occupation. In my country there is a cruel bloody war with the Russian invaders. Many peaceful civilians have already suffered: they died, were injured or lost their homes, as a result of shelling and bombing of residential buildings. Many people leave their homes, their loved ones and go to safe places. The enemy has not yet arrived in Zaporozhye. I stay at home and do my best to help my people in this unequal and bloody struggle. I thank everyone who is not indifferent to our misfortune. I am grateful to all my customers for helping Ukraine. Together with you, we provided significant assistance to the wounded and the needy. I continue my volunteer activities as long as I have the opportunity. Huge thanks to all! Glory to Ukraine!
