10 thousand people left Kharkov to participate in All-Ukrainian Cross Procession (PHOTO)
The amount of participants of All-Ukrainian Cross Procession that left Kharkov has reached 10 thousand people. It was reported to the UOJ reporter by the Cross Procession organizers.
At present the pilgrims have covered 12 km walking and praying. They are going to stop for the night rest.
According to organizers, when the participants were coming out of Kharkov city, they were photographed the unknown individuals with the “Right Sector” patches and responded to the believers’ prayer “Glory to the Lord” with “Glory to Dazhd-God!” (the name of the pagan God – ed.) but it was the only provocation then. “It’s hard to say whether there will be other provocations,” stated one of the organizers.
It will be reminded that today, on 10 July, the Cross Procession in behalf of peace, love, and prayer for Ukraine came out of Kharkov city.
