On February 1, 2024, about three dozen believers of the UOC, the clergy and laity, participated in a prayer service near the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. Video and photos of the prayer standing were published by the Telegram channel "Kozak1".
"May the merciful Lord strengthen your powers, for you come to this holy Lavra every day to lift your prayers to God. May the Lord repay you a hundredfold," Archpriest Valery Kravets, rector of Kyiv's Church of the Holy Cross, who led the service, wished the faithful.
He urged the believers to remember the words of Christ the Savior: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you."
As reported, Archdeacon Pavel urged Orthodox Christians to attend the prayer standing near the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra as often as possible.
