Text on card: The Assumption Cathedral, Kievo-Pecherskaya Lavra, Kiev, Ukraine, in spring night.
"Lavra" is Greek for a big and venerated monastery. "Pechersk" is derived from Old Russian word meaning a cave.
The Assumption Cathedral of the 1,000-year-old Monastery of Caves, is known for the unusual grandeur and beauty of its inner and outer decoration. It is one of the most sacred sites of Orthodox Christianity and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.
It looks as if it is crowned by gold domes...
