The OCU announced a “worship service” at the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra on the Epiphany holiday.

The announcement was published on the OCU's website.

On January 19, 2021, at 9:00 a.m., the “liturgy” will be performed by the head of the OCU, Serhiy Dumenko.

"We note that the Orthodox Church of Ukraine received the proper permission from the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, and a corresponding agreement was signed with the National Reserve ‘Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra’," the statement said.

As the UOJ reported earlier, the OCU once again invited to a “worship service” at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
