COMFORTING COMMUNICATION NEAR THE SACRED OBJECTS OF KYIV PECHERSK LAVRA (THE 19TH – THE EARLY 20TH C.)
The article deals with the problem of comforting communication for minds and bodies in the sacred space of Kyiv Pechersk lavra (19th – early 20th c.). We investigate the role of the providing comfort in the conventual ideas and praxises and consider the attempts to improve prayers' physical contact with the sanctuaries. To achieve this goal we start with the analysis the Lavra administration preconceptions of the interest's native to stranger prayers and to sacred objects custodians. We also explore the level of operational comfort provided for the coffin-guardians and the cave guids. A special priority is accorded to the caves-going conditions. The features of the communicatively related disciplinary instructions for brethren (ideals and reality) are traced. As we have found out, the communicative comfort near Lavra sacred objects was important in the context of reliability engineering. The sacred objects keepers were able to forestall crowding, injuries or fire near shrines and icons. Increasing of the pilgrimage and incremental load for brethren promoted betterment work in the cloister. The problem of thefts in the Near and the Far caves as well as in all Lavra seems to be a promising topic for the further studies.
Keywords: Kyiv Pechersk lavra, 19th – early 20th c., communication, comfort, sacred object, prayer, brethren.
