The day of Ukraine's independence holds a special place in the hearts of Ukrainians, a testament to our enduring spirit and the resilience of our nation.

The origins of the Cathedral of St Volodymyr the Great in Paris date back to the 13th century, marked by the construction of an initial church on the site. However, at the beginning of the 17th century, this church was dismantled to make way for a structure intended for the Brothers of Charity. The foundation stone of this new building was laid in 1613, under the patronage of Marie de Médicis. This building was then finalized, serving jointly with a hospital.
