Positive emotions are the best remedy for depression! To get a positive is one of the main tasks in the rehabilitation activities

To this end, a group of wards of the Foundation “Inna” visited the museum of Saints Kirill and Athanasius of Alexandria, also known as the museum ” Kirilliv Church”.

Currently, St.  Kirilliv Church is part of the National Reserve “Sophia of Kyiv”. And it was built during the reign of Prince Vsevolod Olgovich in 1139. This is one of the oldest churches in Ukraine. The first mention of the church dates back to 1779, when the wife of Vsevolod Olhovich Maria Mstislavovna was buried in the church. In addition, in 1194 the legendary hero of the chronicle “A Tale of Igor’s Regiment” Prince Sviatoslav of Kyiv was buried on the territory of the church.

The temple has been reconstructed many times. In 1929 it was declared a historical and cultural museum. And in 1994 it became a functioning church again. In June 2011, the parish was transformed into St.  Kirilliv Monastery.

The architecture of the temple, the ancient frescoes can not leave indifferent its visitors. At one time, the world-famous artist Mikhail Vrubel took part in the restoration work. The divine atmosphere of the millennial church gives special admiration and grace to all people, immersed in the wonderful aura of this ancient place. Joy, delight, a surge of strength and energy will not replace any medical procedures! Therefore, such a trip for the wards of the Inna Foundation can be called both rehabilitation and prevention of serious diseases!
