WHAT LIES BENEATH THE PSKOV-CAVES MONASTERY

June 28 marks the Synaxis of the Venerable Fathers of the Pskov-Caves Monastery. Beneath this holy place lie ancient underground passages, cemeteries where coffins rest in wall niches rather than in the earth, and the dry riverbeds of a long-vanished stream. We invite you to discover this remarkable natural monument—shaped by nature, opened and cultivated by human hands—and the secrets it has quietly kept for six hundred years.
