Pechersk--The Trinity-Over-The-Gate Church

Here is another very appealing Church in Pechersk (there are dozens). I just like the name--Trinity-over-the-Gate. There are some spectacular murals on the outside of the Church, as well as on the flanking walls. The "Gates" I have seen in Kyiv will bear much future rumination. "The Great Gate at Kiev" is the concluding number in Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition." Of course, there is also the pseudo-historical "Golden Gate" at Zoloti Voroda, which I will see in the morning. I like the idea of "gates" which lead us to new places and connections. May the "Gates" of Kyiv be wide open in the future, and may the inhabitants of this beautiful find "The Great Gate." This is my hope.
