Manyavskiy
sketch…
According
to
the
legend
the
first
settlers
in
this
area
were
two
monks
who
took
refuge
here
hiding
from
the
Mongol
army
that
conquered
Kiev
in
the
XIII
century.
However,
the
official
date
of
skit
foundation
is
the
year
1606.
The
place
of
the
skit
was
not
chosen
by
chance.
This
is
one
of
the
powerful
energy
centres
of
the
earth.
It’s
a
mysterious
place
to
which
people
come
in
order
to
rejuvenate,
to
get
power
and
wisdom.
This
is
a
sacred
place
of
healing
spring
water
that
comes
out
from
nowhere
just
from
under
the
huge
stone.
People
drink
this
water
and
wash
their
bodies
believing
that
it
brings
health
and
strength.
Here
in
the
year
1652
the
monk
Filaret
saw
in
his
dream
a
Holy
Mother
of
God,
after
which
the
epidemic
o
plague
that
took
lives
of
thousands
people
stopped.
The
huge
cross
was
installed
on
this
place
in
commemoration
of
the
event.
The
place
where
Hetman
of
Ukrainian
Cossacks
Ivan
Vigovskiy
is
buried.
He
was
the
successor
to
the
famous
hetman
and
rebel
leader
Bohdan
Khmelnytskiy.
However,
Ivan
Vigovskiy
fell
victim
of
the
political
plot
and
was
executed
without
trial
by
the
Polish
commander.
