At the municipal institution of the Lviv Regional Council, the “Lviv Museum of the History of Religion”, the exhibition “Greetings to you, Ukraine” has opened, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s historic visit to Ukraine.
The exhibition is intended to remind Lviv residents and visitors to the city of the days of the Holy Father’s stay in Kyiv and Lviv, as well as to show the significance of this event for contemporary Ukrainian society.
