Kyiv’s Monastery of the Caves.

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from Kyiv’s Monastery of the Caves. Today is Easter Day for Christians across the world whose worship follows the Julian Calendar, including in Ukraine. We hear a recording of the bells of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, or Kyiv’s Monastery of the Caves, a historic Eastern Orthodox monastery which gives its name to the city district of Kyiv where it’s located. Today the site is both a state museum and a large monastery, named one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine in 2007. These are the bells marking an All Night Vigil.
