I was in the Sviatohirsk Lavra, place of many sketes, churches and Monastic cells hollowed out in the mountain. A powerful place and one of the @UNESCO heritage. It's Holy Mountains National Nature Park.

During the #RussianInvasion, this holy place provided shelter for civilians and so (why?) became the target of the #RussianArmy.
On 12 March, #Russians striked the nearby bridge across the Donets, when about 520 people were attending in the monastery. The blast damaged the windows and doors of the monastery buildings, and several people were injured from the glass shards.

Caldwell Priory, Augustinian (originally Canons of the Holy Sepulchre), valued at £148, dissolved 1536. Subsequently ironworks and currently having the dullest flats imaginable built on top of it
