The legend about the ghost of the monk Tarasius 

On the slopes of the Boldyn Hills stands the Trinity-Elijah Monastery, which arose on the site of an earlier cave monastery, founded in 1069 by St. Anthony of Pechersky. Anthony's Caves is a large complex of underground structures, which includes chapels with burials and cells, as well as the churches of St. Anthony, St. Nicholas and St. Theodosius of Totem. The latter, by the way, reaches a height of eight and a half meters. The total length of the famous cave passages is over 350 meters, although there are some rumors that they lead all the way to Kyiv.

Caves combine a lot of legends. One of which tells us about the mysterious haze at the end of one of the tunnels, which sometimes acquires the silhouette of a man in a habit. Next to this place on the wall is the inscription: "Save, God, your servant Tarasius." The staff of the Anthony's Caves Museum says that you can often meet the ghost of the monk Taras during the big religious holidays. Another legend is associated with the Tatars. When in the twelfth century they captured the city and stormed the monastery, those of them who rushed to persecute the monks in the caves, disappeared without a trace.
