Saint Job of Pochayiv church, Pochayiv Lavra

The Saint Job of Pochayiv Church contains silver shrines housing the incorrupt relics of two Orthodox saints within its stone walls.

In 1604, Saint Job arrived at Pochayiv monastery and became its abbot, leading the community through significant religious conflicts with Polish authorities.

The church maintains regular religious services where Orthodox faithful gather to venerate the relics and participate in traditional liturgical ceremonies.

Visitors can access the church through the main monastery complex, following established protocols for modest dress and respectful behavior.

The relics of Saint Job remained intact when discovered eight years after his death, establishing this location as a major pilgrimage destination.
