KCSA to consider petition to demolish Tithes Monastery
"Kiev City Head Vitaly Klichko requested the permanent commission of the City Council on urban planning, architecture and land use, as well as the profile deputy chairman of the KCSA and the executive body of the Kiev City Council to consider the electronic petition in due course," the city administration website said.
The author of the petition on the portal of the Kiev City Administration demanding to demolish the Tithes Monastery of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Tolpyga Vyacheslav Sergeyevich is the leader of the pagen community "Fern Flower".
The Tithes Monastery is located ten meters from the ancient pagan temple and a hundred meters from the construction of the modern residence of concrete and glass by the head of the Kiev Patriarchate, Filaret, in Desyatinny Pereulok, on the site of demolished historical buildings of the 19th century and directly on the foundation of the palace of Prince Vladimir, built in the 10th century.
On February 3, the faithful of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church held a moleben at the Tithes Monastery of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin in Kiev. The monastery brethren urged the parishioners to unite to protect the temple from the radicals.
