On June 4, 2023, on the Feast of the Holy Trinity, Bishop Stefan of Remesiana, vicar of the Belgrade-Karlovac Eparchy, served in the Pochaiv Lavra. The video of the service was posted on his telegram channel by the “Pershy Kozatsky” resource.
In the video, Vladyka reads the Gospel.
“Bishop Stefan of Remesiana arrived to support the UOC. Together with the abbot of the Lavra, Metropolitan Volodymyr, and hundreds of Orthodox Ukrainians, he prayed in the majestic Transfiguration Cathedral on the eve of the Feast of the Trinity,” wrote the authors of the channel.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that commenting on the seizure of UOC churches by representatives of Dumenko, Bishop Stefan said about the OCU: “For us, this is not a Church.”
