Restoration of the Assumption Cathedral – is a spiritual rise of the greatness, glory and piety of the Ukrainian people.

May her bells, which have been spoken to people from ancient hills for almost millennia, continue to call us and our descendants for peace, goodness and harmony, inspire spiritual work, moral perfection, remind you of the holy duty of respect to your ancestors, of responsibility before God and subsequent by generations.

Remember this today, tomorrow and forever! The revival of such a significant object in its spiritual, architectural and artistic properties, like the Assumption Cathedral of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, has become for restorers of the Ukrainian Special Scientific-Restoration Design and Construction and Production Corporation Ukrrestavracia a difficult test of skill, they have successfully withstood.

For the president of the Ukrainian Special Scientific and Restoration Design and Construction and Production Corporation Ukrrestavratsiya, which is the head organization in the country with the restoration of monuments and is directly involved in the revival of the shrines of Ukraine, personally responsible for executing orders and organizing repair and restoration works on the outstanding monuments of Ukraine, the Assumption Cathedral – this is a special cathedral, filled with deep sacred meaning. This is not just a monument of architecture, which has certain unique architectural elements, harmonious proportions and composition, I perceive it primarily as the House of the Mother of God.

The gilded domes of the Assumption Cathedral, revived from the ashes and raised in the blue of heaven, affirm confidence in the future of Ukraine.

Considering the extraordinary importance of this monument, this cathedral not only for the people of Ukraine, but also for the entire Orthodox world, all search, research, design, repair, restoration, construction works were carried out at such a high quality level.

Time passes, and the events of reproduction of the Assumption Cathedral, the difficult work of archaeologists, architects, engineers, designers, restorers, builders, is already becoming part of history, so I, as a direct participant in these historical events, want to tell about it in detail . Let the experience gained on the reproduction of the Assumption Cathedral be useful both to the present restorers and to the restorers of the future, and in general be interesting to future generations of Ukrainians. The legend of the construction of the Assumption Cathedral is described in detail in the “Kiev-Pechersk Paterik.” “Four masters of the church, very rich people, came from Constantinople to the cave to Anthony and Theodosius, saying:“ Where do you want to build a church? “They answered them:” Where will the Lord call the place! “. They say: “When they prophesied their death, why, without setting a place, did they give us so much gold?”
