The religious procession in defence of the Church, which was supposed to take place in Kyiv on March 21, the Day of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, is postponed to a later date due to the introduction of a lockdown by the Kyiv authorities from March 20.
Presumably, the cross procession will take place after Easter if the epidemiological situation returns to normal. Decisions to hold religious processions in eparchies will be made by the ruling bishops based on the situation with the coronavirus in their region. We are waiting for official messages from the Metropolitanate of the UOC.
