A man who calls himself the magician Belial performed a blasphemous rite of "the funeral of the UOC-MP" near the Lavra. The corresponding video got at the disposal of the UOJ. Belial was assisted by activists, who are based in Poroshenko's Eurosolidarity office across from the Lavra.

Belial put on a blasphemous pentagram-shaped "panagia" with the image of Baphomet, and a "mitre" with the image of Satan on his head. During the "funeral service", he censed a "coffin" with the inscription "cargo 200". Belial also read the text of the absolution prayer, blasphemously replaced by obscene curses, which the priests traditionally read over the body of the deceased.

Meanwhile, Poroshenko’s activists in fake costumes of a “bishop”, “zombie” and others were barking, crowing and sobbing feignedly.

At the end of the rite, the magician Belial, pointing to the Lavra, said that "the monks of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine will pray in these temples."

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the "magician Belial" came to the Lavra to agitate for the OCU.
