Lviv's 750th Anniversary

Us trainees took a day trip to Lviv, a town three hours away, for its 750th Anniversary Celebrations.

LC Lviv happened to be having their Local Training Seminar (LTS), which is like our LLDS, so we stopped by awhile. Of course, we had to perform a roll call!

Next, we walked around Lviv. Here are some photos of the city.

Train station

Armenian church

This is a tombstone that is laid at the backyard of the church. On this tombstone, has the name of the deceased and his/her sins on it and it is laid oon the ground for people to step on. It may seem rude to step on people's grave but in fact we are doing a good deed to the deceased. This is because the more we step on it, the more the words fade.
It symbolizes that we are erasing their sins so that they can go to heaven.

A building with the signs of the zodiac on it.

Ukrainian Easter eggs!

There were people dressed like this walking around the city, so i took a photo with them to show all of you. :)
