On February 3, 2023, Epifaniy Dumenko will "serve" a festive "liturgy" in St. Sophia Cathedral on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of his taking the post of head of the OCU, the press service of this organization reports.
The service is scheduled for 9:00 am. At this time, the entrance to the territory of the Sophia Kyiv Reserve and the St. Sophia Cathedral will be free.
As the UOJ reported, those wishing to get into Dumenko's "service" in the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra on the feast of the Epiphany were made to undergo a metal detector test and show documents. Many participants in this “worship” were brought to the capital from the regions in an organized manner.
