Kyiv, Ukraine, Sep 21, 2021 / 12:00 pm
A fire has severely damaged a historic Catholic church in Ukraine’s capital city, Kyiv.
The fire broke out at the Gothic-style Church of St. Nicholas during an organ music rehearsal on Sept. 3, destroying the organ, charring the interior, and sending a chandelier crashing to the ground.
St. Nicholas is the second-oldest Latin Rite Catholic church in Kyiv (also known as Kiev) after the Co-Cathedral of St. Alexander.
