The beauty and grandeur of the Lavra, towering over small houses, and the picturesque nature are unforgettable!The Mother of God herself walked here and left her mark-a stack. I want to come here again!
I recommend it!! It was a long time ago ! With a group of pilgrims ! An inexpressible feeling of calmness, purity! A cave that you can only crawl into on your stomach, a powerful place!A spring with water of only +4, +8 degrees is a body charge and cleansing when you plunge three times!! On the territory, we spent the night in a hotel , for pilgrims , clean , tidy and you can take a shower from the road!We need to go again!
The Pochaev Lavra is a true splendor, immersed in a spiritual atmosphere and beauty. From the moment I first entered its territory, I was overwhelmed by incredible feelings of awe and peace.
The appearance of the Lavra is striking in its architectural beauty. The majestic church buildings, decorated with magnificent details and patterns, give this place an indescribable charm. I especially remember the Holy Dormition Monastery with its golden domes and elegant frescoes. This place fills the soul with peace and inspires reflection.
However, it is not only the external beauty that makes the Pochaev Lavra a unique place. There is a huge spiritual heritage here that permeates every corner of this holy land. People come here from all over the world to experience this incredible atmosphere and worship the holy icons.
A visit to the Pochaev Lavra left an unforgettable impression in my soul. I feel that this place has a special significance for all believers, and it is able to open the doors to deep spiritual knowledge. I am very grateful for the opportunity to visit here and hope to return again to continue my journey in this amazing place.
Все гарно і добре тільки що є два мінуси платне проживання і заважають один охоронец і монах на ім'я Ніфонт а заважає тим що не всім дає роботу в гостинице
This is an incredibly beautiful and bright place! Very calm and sincere) The stunning beauty of temples and territories nearby! Everything is clean and tidy!
Being there, you feel completely safe, you are in harmony with yourself! A very, very beautiful place! I recommend it with all my heart and soul!
A big big one, a new cathedral was built there 60x62 m very, very large with a height of 72 m. Well, this is in Ukraine, which I can say very well, there is a place to spend the night and so on and so forth nearby
This is a holy place where the relics of abbot Job Pochaevsky, who rejected the Orthodox faith, and the relics of Amphilochius, who treated people, lie. And of course the biggest shrine is the miraculous icon of the Mother of God. But there is a prediction by Archimandrite Zosim Sokur. That the lavra will be in disrepair when it passes to the Uniates. It's very sad.
Christ is Risen! I've known about this HOLY place for a long time from stories. Especially about the elders who lived there and about the healings of the sick that they performed. That's really who had faith - the size of a mustard seed.
I wonder if there are no such elders now, and even more so in Pochaev? I don't know why, but I really want to get to this monastery. Yesterday I was at the church and one woman told me that she had been there for a long time before 2014.
I went into the temple and such feelings came flooding in, I wanted to cry. When the icon of the Mother of God was lowered, it felt like She was hugging you. She did not feel so good in any monastery as in Pochaev.
It is not possible to get there now. I think there will be more time and I will definitely come there.
I would like to talk with the elders or just with a sensible father, here on the website. I want to ask a lot of questions and get a competent answer , but unfortunately, I wrote to the websites of many monasteries , asked for contacts of elders, priests, so far no one has responded, probably not up to me as a sinner.
The Pochaev Lavra was and remains the largest Orthodox monastery, in which the Holy Spirit dwells to this day.It is a very holy place, and good priests, and the choir sang very well.I liked it.sh

I was there a long time ago with a friend in 2004. We stayed in a private house with stove heating. The monastery is very beautiful. I was especially shocked by the service of the three bishops on the eve of the Akathist Sabbath, when they sing the Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos during Lent. I was very afraid to climb into the cave of the Rev. Job of Pochaevsky, because according to belief, Orthodox Christians with unrepentant sins get stuck in a narrow loophole. But then everything worked out. I recommend. I regret that due to the events taking place in Ukraine and Russophobic sentiments, I cannot take my wife and son there.
Hello, I do not know how to write to the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra, I have read a lot about it. The fact is that my mother, her name is Valentina, is very ill with pneumonia, is on artificial ventilation in the intensive care unit of the hospital for patients with cortnovirus, she is unconscious. The course of the disease is extremely severe, doctors give a "bad" prognosis. If this is possible, and if this review is seen in the Lavra, please pray for her recovery, I no longer know what to do.....please. I have no one closer to my mother.
You definitely need to visit here! Just imagine: the largest Lavra in Western Ukraine is Orthodox! The beauty is indescribable! And the story is simply fascinating. I was born on the territory of the Lavra myself! The building in which the maternity hospital was organized belonged to the Lavra. Before I was born, it was expropriated - and I was born there!) The Pochaev Lavra is undoubtedly one of the Wonders of the World!
The Pochaev Lavra is the place where heaven is closest to earth and talking with God works best. I made pilgrimage trips three times and each time I had a strong feeling - I want to come back here!!!! He lived in a hotel on the territory of the Lavra. I recommend booking a room in advance. Rooms for any price, very well maintained, excellent staff. I recommend that all true believers visit this Holy Place!!!
Lavra services are like a balm for the soul. The tempo of the singing is acceptable for perception. You manage to immerse yourself in prayers and pray to our GOD JESUS CHRIST with your heart. Oh, how they sing! Like angels in heaven. Just to tears of joy. Truly they bear the Word of our GOD upon us sinners 🙏🙏🙏
The last time was a long time ago and when I arrived again I was very impressed... Everything is very cultural and modern, starting with a free guarded parking lot, a hotel, a refectory, very affordable and delicious, everything is nearby... Thank you and thank God!
Thank you for the Bible you have published, the Synodal translation, which includes 11 additional Old Testament Books!! Good performance, high-quality. God bless you. I wish you Success and Joy in Your Work!! All The Best To You!!
I was there too, came for a couple of days, and stayed for a week. I met many wonderful people who, not knowing my questions, gave me answers, and I was only surprised to get answers where I didn't have time to ask. This is a miracle, God himself speaks to us through his people. I really want to go back there. Is it safe to drive there now? Has anyone been there from Russia?
Monks and novices built a lot and made a beautiful and well-groomed Lavra. It is also inhabited by many truly people of God. Beautiful services, the relics of St. Amphilochius and Job Pochaevsky rest in a cave in the lower temple. Grace rests on its Laurels.
I haven't been, but I've read a lot about the lavra. I would have gone if it wasn't for the situation in Ukraine. I often visit the guest page. I'm reading the news. The site is made simply gorgeous, because it is convenient to use it. I ask you to pray for me, a sinful slave. Amflyopy Pochaevsky pray to God for us. Maybe it will be possible to visit the Lavra after all.
A unique place. We went for two days. The all-night service and the liturgy seemed to fly by. The fraternal choir turned out the soul, tears flowed - I did not notice. The confession is deep and heartfelt. And happiness, when you leave the priest who absolved sins, cannot be conveyed... It is not only the splendor of the decoration of the temples that amazes, but also the feeling of the uniqueness of the spirit and atmosphere of this holy place.
We left. And I...I'm looking forward to a new trip.
I went to Pochaev in 2013. The sensations are indescribable! When I left, I even cried looking out the window. Such singing in the choir, as if you are in paradise! A good hotel on the territory of the monastery, simple, cozy! The meals are also simple, but how delicious! The services are very deep, piercing, the soul prays easily, trembles. And the icon of the Virgin, when it is lowered! Such grace from her! Of the minuses - very rude monks, one of my friends was kicked out of Confession, because she lives unmarried (she is registered with her husband at the registry office, but her husband is an unbeliever), a monk defiantly, contemptuously and with hatred in his eyes poured water for everyone, many did not go to the Pile a second time, even though they wanted to. One monk, when I wanted to be blessed, generally "caressed" me -"get out of here, brat!". And the boy who was with us in the pilgrimage group was called a murderer by a monk, because ... The boy just held his hands behind his back and stood there. If it weren't for these nuances, then, you can say, I would be in paradise!
The beauty and grandeur of the Pochaev Lavra fascinates and amazes. I advise you to visit it to see and admire it. And if you are a deeply religious person, I wish you to come here for a single day.
My soul finds peace here. It was very good there. Unfortunately, the situation on the territory of Ukraine does not give such an opportunity to visit there again, but I told my loved ones that it would happen that during my lifetime I would not be able to visit this place so that at least some of my things would be taken, I very sincerely ask them to pray for this place so that there would be peace in Ukraine so that Russian people would not kill each other very hard that I can't get there, well, it's God's will."We Russians are God in dreams."
