The "Ukrainian Lavra" Foundation under the Ministry of Culture announced the program "Spiritual Restoration through Culture" for a group of 9 chaplains. The announcement was made on the Foundation's Facebook page.
The program's goal is stated as "moral and spiritual support for defenders after the trials of war through immersion in the cultural and historical space of the national shrine".
The announcement mentions that a group of 9 chaplains will spend a week "communicating with the monks of the monastery and participating in worship services in the temples of the Reserve".
