It is said that in the morning, before the beginning of the service, the rector and parishioners saw spilt pig's blood at the entrance to the church. The police were called to the scene and recorded the incident.
"We hope the perpetrators will be brought to justice. According to their deeds you shall know them, the Holy Scripture testifies to us, these people obviously have dark, evil deeds, not God’s.
