Rebuilt from massive pine logs (early 2000s), #AllSaintsSketeOfSviatohirskLavra was once Ukraine's largest #WoodenChurch self-sufficient with gardens, orchards & ponds within a palisade. Bearing 16th & 17th CE Orthodox traditions, the church was deliberately destroyed by a #RussianMilitaryStrike in June 2022. Today only foundations & remnants remain #UkrainianCutureUnderAttack.
