Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
A living Studite monastery of the UGCC and destination of the revived Lviv-to-Univ walking pilgrimage. Pilgrims pray before the Univ Marian icon and at the spring; commemorations of Blessed Klymentiy Sheptytsky reflect Studite renewal, but the lavra is not identified here as his tomb.
