On April 24, 2023, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry came to prayer standing at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
The primate of the UOC, together with the faithful, prayed at the akathist to all the Venerable Fathers of the Kyiv Caves. The footage shows that Metropolitan Onuphry first stands in one cassock. Then, when he read the akathist himself, the Primate put on the stole.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that His Beatitude addressed those who are picketing the Lavra.
