On April 25, 2023, the National Reserve installed a sign in front of the central gate of the Lower Lavra with the indicated opening hours of the monastery for those wishing to visitt it, the UOJ correspondent reported.
“Attention visitors! Entrance to the territory of the Lower Lavra of the Reserve is from 8:00 to 18:00,” the sign says.
Until today, the stay of believers in the Lavra was limited by the Reserve only from 6:00 to 22:00.
It should be noted that today representatives of the Reserve posted other signs on the territory of the Lavra. In particular, a paper with the following text appeared on the doors of the Church of All Saints of Lavra Caves: “The object has been returned to the use of the Reserve. Free entrance".
As the UOJ reported, the reserve will pay the police more than UAH 4 million from the state budget for the "protection" of the Lavra.
