Scottishmoney Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 You always see the outside in pictures but the inside is fantastic also. If you were to try you could not find a more emblematic expression of the Ukrainian culture than Pecherskaya Lavra. And I have been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
