Abstract
The appointment of Peter Mohyla as metropolitan of Kiev in 1633 marked the beginning of a large-scale reform of the Ruthenian Orthodox Church. The article seeks to examine the question of Mohyla's symbolic vision of his mission to 're-construct' Christianity and its values among the people of Rus'. An increase in the popularity of St Volodimer among the literati of Kiev in the first quarter of the seventeenth century and the discovery of his relics in 1635 provided Mohyla and his associates with a basis to represent their own activity as a symbolic continuation and ultimate fulfilment of St Volodimer's apostolic mission.
