Fotod Church of St. Onuphrius, Lviv

Greek Catholic Church and Basilian Monastery of Saint Onuphrius, autor Anosmia

This is one of the oldest sanctuaries in the city; records mention a wooden church existed at this site in 1292. During the second half of the 15th century a monastery was built next to the church. A stone church was built in 1550 and in 1585 a monastery surrounded with fortifications. The church was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the years; its present-day look dates to 1902. Under Soviet rule the church was closed and changed into a museum of the first Ukrainian printer Ivan Fedorov. After the collapse of the Soviet Union it was returned to the Basilians and restored. It was at St. Onuphrius where, in 1573, Ivan Fedorov took refuge. The next year he produced the first printed book in Ukraine (The Apostle) in the monastery printing shop, which functioned until 1615. According to legend, the monastery owned an icon of the Virgin Mary which had been painted by St. Luke the Evangelist on a cypress panel. Emperor Constantine transferred the icon to his capital, whereupon Byzantine Princess Anna brought it with her from Constantinople to Kiev. Three hundred years later this icon came into the possession of Prince Lev who handed it over to the Basilian Monastery. At the end of the 14th century this icon was eventually brought to Czestochowa in Poland, where it has become famous for its miracles. At present the ancient icon of the Virgin Mary of Czestochowa (the so-called Black Madonna) is viewed as the most sacred object in Poland.
