A religious procession of many thousands of believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which began on August 19 from the Brailiv monastery, arrived at the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra, reports the Vinnytsia Eparchy of the UOC on its Telegram channel.
The prayer procession is dedicated to the celebration of the feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. About 4 thousand believers left Brailov, but more pilgrims joined them along the way. On August 26, a few kilometers from Pochaiv, Metropolitan Varsonofy of Vinnytsia and Bar joined the procession, blessing the pilgrims at the beginning of the journey in the Brailiv Monastery. At the Pochaiv Lavra, the pilgrims were met with exclamations of "Christ is Risen!" by the cross-walkers who had previously come to the monastery from Kamianets-Podilskyi.
