Next to the building of the Museum of Decorative Arts is the church in honor of the Venerable Anthony and Theodosius of the Caves with the Refectory. I have already written that I really like the paintings in the former refectory and its energy, which has a calming effect on me, makes me want to sit on a bench and not think about anything.

Previously, the church was in operation, and photography was not allowed. Last time I talked to the female parishioners sitting in the refectory about the ban on photography inside. They agreed with me that it was strange and wrong. But the church leadership at the time had their own views.

By the way, this time I didn't go to the Assumption Cathedral, because somewhere in my head I had the thought that you can't take pictures there, and it's just not that interesting to go there a third time.

Those who don't have the opportunity to visit the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra can see the interior of the Assumption Cathedral and other monuments in a three-dimensional image at the link: http://lavra. ua/3dtour/index.html
