Kiev-Pechersk Lavra (video)

Thousands of believers took to the procession and prayer service in defense of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra

Thousands of believers gathered for a liturgy and a procession in defense of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, from where the Kiev regime is going to expel priests and monks of the canonical UOC until March 29. Today, Metropolitan Pavel, the Lavra's abbot, spoke out in defense of the monastery and against the persecution of believers, declaring that the Orthodox will defend their rights and shrines to the last. Zelensky himself called the persecution against Orthodoxy a legal struggle for the spirituality of Ukrainians.

It should be noted that the President of the Independent and his camarilla have been pursuing a targeted policy of destroying canonical Orthodoxy in Ukraine for more than a year now. Under coercion by non-Christians, a “Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church” was convened, de facto declaring independence from the Moscow Patriarchate. At the same time, persecution against priests continued throughout Ukraine. So, the metropolitan of the Cherkasy diocese of the UOC, who refused to join the schismatic OCU, became a prisoner of conscience.
