The Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral (the Serbian Orthodox Church) called on all Orthodox Christians to pray for the imprisoned abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan Pavel of Vyshhorod and Chornobyl.
The message was published on the Facebook page of the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral.
"Let us remember in our prayers Metropolitan Pavel, imprisoned because of the truth of God!" said the message.
As reported, on 14 July 2023, the Solomyansky District Court of Kyiv satisfied the petition of prosecutors to change the measure of restraint to the abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan Pavel of Vyshhorod and Chornobyl, from round-the-clock house arrest to detention. The judge agreed on the amount of bail as an alternative to detention in the amount of 33 mln hryvnias.
As previously reported, Metropolitan Clement commented on the arrest of the Lavra abbot.
