Holy Spirit Pochaev skete, Orthodox monastery in Pochaiv, Ukraine.
The Holy Spirit Pochaev Skete contains multiple religious buildings, including the Iveron Church and a bell tower with a memorial chapel.
The monastery site, documented in 1527, gained prominence when monks from Kyiv Monastery of the Caves established a spiritual center during the Mongol invasion.
The monastery maintains a community of 70 monks who operate facilities including an apiary, garden, bakery, and workshops for icon painting and vestment sewing.
Religious services occur regularly in the Iveron Church, with special ceremonies taking place during the feast of the Holy Spirit in June.
The monastery houses the myrrh-streaming head of an unknown cave ascetic and a cross of St Nikita the Stylite among its religious artifacts.
