Exhibition Dedicated to the 1700th Anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council

The exhibition is dedicated to a significant date – the 1700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council, which laid the foundations of Christian doctrine regarding the Trinity of God. It was at this council that one of the main dogmas of Christianity was established.

Unique Exhibits and Ukrainian Sacred Art

Visitors will be able to explore a variety of iconographic representations of the Trinity that have developed over the centuries – from symbolic themes of the Old Testament to baroque interpretations of the New Testament Trinity. Special attention at the exhibition is given to Ukrainian sacred art of the 17th–18th centuries, when the iconography of the Trinity took on a distinct national style.

Starting June 30, the Lavra will present over 30 valuable exhibits, including baroque icons, exquisite embroidery items, unique samples of goldsmithing, engravings, and other rare relics. Most of these items are being displayed for the first time, making this event particularly special for all enthusiasts of history and art.
