This memorial sign stands on the green lawn near School No. 25, at the intersection of Volodymyrska Street, Desiatynnyi Lane, and the upper part of Andriivskyi Descent, not far from the National Museum of the History of Ukraine. Thanks to its material and modest scale, it is perceived not as a dominant monument, but as an organic part of the ancient landscape of Old Kyiv Hill, reminding visitors of the chronicle origins of this place.
The memorial to Saint Andrew was created as a result of a park sculpture symposium held in Kyiv around 1988–1989, when the city was preparing to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the Christianization of Rus’.
The figure of Saint Andrew seems to “grow” directly out of the stone itself. The sculptor deliberately left part of the block unfinished, using the non finito technique, which creates the impression that the saint is emerging from the very cliffs of Kyiv. The facial features, hands, and folds of clothing are rendered with restrained and generalized lines. Within the silhouette, one can recognize the traditional cross and a gesture of blessing, though both are deeply integrated into the very structure of the stone.
