Magazine "The History of the Ostroh Bible: Truth Through the Centuries"

In 2026, we celebrate a triple anniversary in Ukraine's history: 450 years since the founding of the Ostroh Academy, 500 years since the birth of its founder, Prince Kostiantyn Vasyl Ostrozkyi, and 445 years since the publication of the Ostroh Bible, the first complete printed Bible in Ukraine.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, the Ostroh Bible Museum will travel across Ukraine over the coming months. This exhibition is dedicated to the history of the Ostroh Bible, and of the Holy Scriptures and writing in general (be sure to check the link to see whether it will pass through your town!). We have also prepared a short magazine to help you, your loved ones and anyone interested learn more about the Word of God: how it was written and how it was translated into different languages, including Church Slavonic and, in turn, Ukrainian. The magazine pays special attention to the Ostroh Bible, one of the most important landmarks of book printing in Ukraine, and its huge influence on education, culture and the later history of Ukraine.
