Pecherska Lavra is like the Dome of the Rock for us...and them! The Holiest site in Eastern Orthodoxy. This is where the Slavs were baptized to Christianity.
Every Orthodox Christian should be calling for Putin's head now or go worship Satan.
Incase yall haven't noticed I decided to remove the Ukraine flag from my bio because I don't want people thinking I support NATO. My opinions have not changed though; I still recognize that Russian imperialism caused this and condemn Russia for it.
Ukraine is not in NATO.
Having a Ukrainian flag has nothing to do with NATO.
If we were in NATO however, we would not be invaded by russians.
Because NATO prevents russian expansionism and imperialism.
But you have a hammer and sickle, so nobody is surprised you are retarded.
Lavra is burning……
The Lavra was founded in 1015. For more than a thousand years, it has watched our history unfold. Long before the Russian Empire, long before the Soviet Union, long before modern politics, it was already standing here.
Generations of Ukrainians walked through its gates. They prayed there, found refuge there, celebrated there, mourned there. Its walls witnessed the births, lives, and deaths of countless people who came before us.
The Lavra is also home to museums holding priceless pieces of our history: ancient manuscripts, icons, centuries-old books, works of art, archaeological treasures, and documents that tell the story of Ukraine across the ages.
Looking at these flames, I don’t just see a building burning.
I see a thousand years of history under attack.
I see another attempt to destroy the things that remind us who we are.
russia wants the world to believe this war is about territory. But every museum destroyed, every library burned, every church damaged tells a different story. This is also a war against memory, culture, and identity.
The people who built the Lavra more than a millennium ago are long gone. The generations that protected it through invasions, occupations, famines, and wars are gone too.
And yet the Lavra remained.
Tonight, seeing it burn is heartbreaking because some things belong to all of us. Not because of faith. Not because of politics. But because they are part of the story of who we are.
A thousand years of history should not have to survive russian missiles in the 21st century.
Right now the seat of eastern orthodox christianity in kyiv built in 1051 is burning because russia launched hypersonic missiles at it.
So much for trad values they’re so vocal about
Russians have struck the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and are burning down one of Ukraine's oldest Orthodox churches‼️
The roof of the Dormition Cathedral is ablaze. The cathedral itself is a significant part of our history, it is older than Moscow. It was already there when russian neanderthals were building shacks made of sticks and shit.
Fucking barbarians!
Chay Bowes will definitely block you for this. He blocks anyone that disagrees with him. Its the reason the comments on his posts are almost totally pro-Russian.
