A press conference and the opening of an exhibition dedicated to the symbols of the heavenly protector of Kyiv and Saint Sofia’s guardian angel, Archangel Mykhailo, took place at the Sofia Kyivska national reserve on November 20 as part of the project called “Revival of Sofia Kyivska’s Traditions.”
This is the third phase of this project, and it is called “Recreation of the Figure of Archangel Mykhailo and raising it onto the third tower of Sofia Kyivska and the opening of the exhibition on the Gallery of Angels of Saint Sofia.”
A metal weather vane in the shape of a golden winged figure of archangel Mykhailo was installed in the XVIII century. However, this monument was destroyed in 1930.
