Lavra Monastery
When I returned to Kiev, I unexpectedly met someone who later became my new girlfriend. For our first date, we went to the Lavra Monastery. I'm not normally a religious person, but I could feel the power of this place. To hear the priests singing is something I cannot really put into words. After visiting the churches, we toured the catacombs where they buried their priests. Normally, the catacombs would be so dark that you need a candle or flashlight to traverse through these dark tunnels, but for some reason, they allowed enough light inside that we didn't need them. It is a very beautiful and gorgeous place. Something I would recommend if you ever travel to Kiev.
