Parishioners of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the village of Novosilky, Kyiv region, have shown how they are reviving their prayer life after the seizure of their church. This was reported by kozakTv1 on their Telegram channel.
The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church was seized by supporters of the OCU and Uniates on October 6, 2024. Now, the faithful of the UOC are forced to hold services in an old abandoned house, as access to the church has been lost.
Despite the seizure, the Orthodox community maintains its faith and continues to pray: “And while hatred against Orthodox Christians flares up in the seized church, genuine prayer thrives here,” noted the journalists.
As reported by the UOJ, the head of the Phanar demanded that Dumenko explain the forceful seizures of UOC churches.
