About Live Cam "Pochayiv Lavra" in Pochaiv

The first record of the Holy Assumption of the Pochaev Lavra dates back to 1527, although the local tradition claims that it was created three centuries ago, during the Mongol invasion, by several escaping monks, either from the Kiev Monastery or from the Sacred Mount Athos. The legend says that the Mother of God appeared before the monks in the form of a column of fire, leaving a mark on the rock on which she stood. This imprint became a revered local population and brothers for the medicinal, healing properties of water that was released from it. In the 16th century, the abbey was prosperous enough to order a stone cathedral and hold a promising annual fair. His position was expanded in 1597, when the noble lady Anna Hoiska presented the monastery with her vast lands and the miraculous icon of the Virgin. This image, traditionally known as the Mother of God of Pochaev, was handed over to Hoisk by the passerby Bulgarian bishop and helped to cure her brother of blindness. In 1604, Ivan Zalizo, a well-known champion of Eastern Orthodoxy, joined the monastic community with the then re-recognized Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, which became a vocal critic of the Brest Union. View on the Lavra with such an interesting past can be today through the lens installed opposite the web camera.
