Description
Univ Holy Dormition Lavra of the Studite Rite is a large monastic complex, the only lavra of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. It is situated in Peremyshliany district, Lviv region. Univ Lavra was established around 1400. This sprawling religious compound contains a wooden church, a massive monastic complex, fortress-like walls, an old bell-tower and a church which date back to 1548. The old church incorporates ancient frescoes as well as several religious jewels and paintings. During its long history at the Univ Monastery were established a library, a shelter and an icon painting workshop. Today, Univ Lavra is one of the most important pilgrimage centres in Ukraine. Set on a picturesque land, this place breathes of tranquillity and peace. The project will be very intensive and consist of two parts – a practical working part and a study part. The practical working part, which will be at different parts of the site, will last six hours per day. In the evenings and during the weekend, educational and cultural activities will take place. The project will focus on the preservation and conservation of the church tabernacles from the collection of Univ Holy Dormition Lavra. Before starting the conservation processes, all objects will be measured. Documentation, description of their condition and photo fixation will be done by participants. Based on the documentation, the restoration process of the wooden tabernacles will start. All the explanations of the materials and processes, that are needed, will be provided during the project. Within the framework of the educational part, the participants will learn about the history of the Univ Holy Dormition Lavra of the Studite Rite, about the current architectural features of the buildings and about the wall paintings of the main church as an example of the traditional wall painting and icon wall decor of the Orthodox churches. They will get to know the Univ Lavra Museum and its collection and will be informed how it was created, what exposures are currently operating, what is the tabernacle, its place in the church and how it is accompanied in Orthodox tradition.
