Kyiv – On 7 December 2007, the western gate of the Kyivan Monastery of the Caves was restored and blessed thanks to the efforts of the Holy Assumption Monastery. According to the preliminary expertise of a committee formed by the Holy Assumption Monastery, the gate’s partial collapse on 7 October 2007 was caused by its lock brick having fallen out as well as by the use of low-quality building materials and the partial ruin of the gate’s foundation. RISU’s Ukrainian-language webpage posted the story.
