Manyava Skete

Manyava Skete of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, (also transliterated as Maniava or Manjava Skete), otherwise known as Ukrainian Athos, is an Orthodox solitary-cell men's monastery (skete) in the Carpathian Mountains of western Ukraine. It is situated on the outskirts of the village of Maniava in Ivano-Frankivsk Raion of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast and belongs to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

Hegumen of the monastery is Ioasaf, metropolitan of Ivano-Frankivsk and Halych. Currently there are 8 monks residing at the monastery. Manyava Skete is famous for the apparition of the Virgin Mary who appeared here twice and for its miracle-working icon of Manyava Icon of Mother of God. The icon "cried" twice, shedding myrrh (supernatural oil) in 2004 and last in spring of 2012.

These events were widely reported by the Ukrainian news and TV media. Thousands of Orthodox pilgrims arrive here during the year.
