The Hagia Sophia, not far from the Independence Square, is a holy place for the people of Kiev. The name of the church is a bit familiar, isnt it? Yes, this Byzantine-style Orthodox church is designed by the Ukrainian great monarch Yaroslav, according to the St. Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul, symbolizing "New Constantinople". Step into the church door, the subtle changes in the light and the gas field, looking up, the huge dome is the symbol of the spiritual sky, all visible and invisible are under the protection of God, The sense of calm and awe is born from the bottom of my heart. The walls of the church, the ornamentation of the cross and the murals of the Bible story can be seen everywhere
