On the eve and at the beginning of the war, many signs appeared in the sky above Ukraine, in which people saw the faces of Christ, the Virgin Mary, the Heavenly Host and Orthodox saints. In hope for peace, many people associated these signs as support for Ukraine and its inhabitants. At that time I believed that all the saints stood in our defence. Even now I have no doubt about it!

Agapetus of Pechersk (Bezmezdnik) XI century — the monk of the Kievo-Pechersky monastery, doctor bezmezdny (Unmercenary Physician). He is venerated in the holy Russian Orthodox Church as a saint.
Agapetus is considered to be the first healer (physician) of Kievan Rus, glorified by his gratuitous help to ill people. He gained great fame by healing patients through prayer and bylai, a special herb which he used to prepare and give to the sick. According to his hagiography he healed the Chernigov grand prince Vladimir Monomakh. His relics are stored in the Near Caves of Kiev Pechersk Lavra.
The painting depicts Agapetus of Pechersk, Vladimir Monomakh and a practicing Armenian physician who was jealous of Agapetus. Having seen Agapetus heal many patients through prayer, he converted to Orthodoxy and accepted monasticism.
The picture was painted for the opening of the church of Saint Agapetus of Pechersk in Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
Painting decorated with a dutch gold and rhinestones.
The painting was for some time in Kiev-Pechersk Lavra in the icon-painting workshop of Matushka Theodora. Now it is in the Sunday school of the Church of the Holy Myrrh-bearing Women in Kiev
