      Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (Kyievo-Pecherska Lavra), also known as the Kyiv Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Eastern Orthodox Christian monastery which gave its name to one of the city districts where it is located in the town Kyiv.

      According to the Primary Chronicle, in the early 11th century, Anthony, a Christian monk from Esphigmenon monastery on Mount Athos, originally from Liubech of the Principality of Chernigov, returned to Rus' and settled in Kyiv as a missionary of monastic tradition to Kyivan Rus'. He chose a cave at the Berestov Mount that overlooked the Dnieper River and a community of disciples soon grew. Prince Iziaslav I of Kyiv ceded the whole mount to the Anthonite monks who founded a monastery built by architects from Constantinople
      There are over a hundred burials in the Lavra. Below are the most notable ones
      • Ilya Muromets - in the caves
      • Nestor the Chronicler - in the Near Caves
      • Saint Kuksha - in the Near Caves
      • Alipy of the Caves - in the Near Caves
      • Agapetus of Pechersk - in the Near Caves
      • Oleg son of Vladimir II Monomakh - in the Church of the Saviour at Berestove
      • Eufemia of Kyiv daughter of Vladimir II Monomakh - in the Church of the Saviour at Berestove
      • Yuri Dolgoruki - in the Church of the Saviour at Berestove
      • Skirgaila - regent Grand Duke of Lithuania
      • Konstanty Ostrogski - near the Cathedral of the Dormition
      • Vasily Kochubey - near the Refectory Church
      • Ivan Iskra - near the Refectory Church
      • Pyotr Stolypin - near the Refectory Church
      • St. Spyridon - in the caves
      • Pope Clement I - his head in the Far Caves (his remaining relics brought to San Clemente in Rome by Sts. Cyril and Methodius)

      During the Soviet era, the bodies of the saints that lay in the caves were left uncovered due to the regime's disregard for religion. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the bodies were covered with a cloth and to this day remain in the same state.
