The Network publishes calls for OCU supporters to come on a pilgrimage to "worship" in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
Presumably, the "service" of the OCU will be held on Epiphany, January 19, 2023. Travel to Kyiv will be free. There is currently no official information from the National Reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" regarding the planned event.
Previously, the OCU makes a similar invitation to the Christmas “worship” led by Dumenko at the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. Posts with these announcement were published on social networks and in groups of supporters of the OCU. For this purpose, they also organized free buses.
As the UOJ reported, the head of the regional council invited Epifaniy to perform a "service" in the main Orthodox shrine of the Ternopil region – the Pochaiv Lavra.
