UOC church evicted on the street in Kozin

On the night of May 4, in the village of Kozin, located in the Mironovka district of the Kiev region, the unidentified persons took all the church belongings and utensils of the St. Michael's Church of the UOC onto the street and dropped them on the ground, reports a UOJ correspondent.

Now the police are working on the scene.

In 2001, a religious community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was registered in the village.

To hold the services, the believers were given the premises of a rural library. This building used to house a church, and in Soviet times, a village club was located there. Believers of the UOC arranged a place for the church, installed an iconostasis, a throne and consecrated it.

The UOJ is closely following the developments.
