Kaharlyk S. Svitlo dukhovnosti i kultury. From History of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. "Unknown Ukraine" series. (Light of Spirituality and Culture)

"Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra... What do we imply in this concept? The largest Ukrainian sanctuary, a monument of ancient architecture and art, the cradle of the Ukrainian antiquity. But what constitutes holiness of Kyiv Lavra, its high spirituality, greatness of the cultural patrimony, which for centuries served as a symbol and glory of Ukrainians – far not everyone will find an answer to these questions. The majority is convinced that the period of the greatest flourishing of the Pechersk Monastery and its impact on the society falls within the Kyiv Rus time. But not everyone knows that it is the period of the 17th-18th centuries that constituted the "golden age" in the history of Lavra, when it reached its greatest spiritual authority and the highest rise in its cultural and educational activities.
This is uniqueness of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in the 17th-18th centuries – due to efforts of its clerical elite, mostly graduates of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy who passed through Lavra monastic school, a specific inner world was created within it, the power and depth of impacts of which at the contemporary society can hardly be overemphasized. It is due to them that the miraculous Pechersk hills emanated the light of spirituality and propagated ideological and cultural influences upon all peoples of the Orthodox world."
