In Zhitomir radicals insulted believers of Cross Procession (VIDEO)

The Cross Procession, moving from the Pochaev Lavra, has been confronted by aggressively-minded nationalists today. According to the participants of the Procession, a conflict was avoided due to the militaries of the 95th brigade.      

As reported by the believers, going in the Cross Procession, about 40 people, shouting obscenities, tried to disrupt the movement of the column.    

"Real patriots of Ukraine helped to calm the radicals, - says Fr. Victor Zemlianoy, a participant of the Cross Procession. – When the shouters saw the militaries of the 95th brigade, who took part in the battle for the Donetsk airport, join us, the screamers, as they say, "swallowed their tongues."   

The Cross Procession was attended by six soldiers of the 95th military brigade.


The faithful are going to stay in Zhitomir Cathedral for a time before they continue their walk on Wednesday.
