Tithes Monastery offers to bail out arsonists

On February 5 brethren of the Tithes Monastery filed an application to the Court of Appeal in Kiev in which monks request to release the radicals, who had tried to set fire to the monastery, and offer to bail them out. It is written by the site of the monastery.

As reported in the monastery, believers from the very morning began to gather near the monastery for the prayerful support of the brethren.

In the morning about five hundred people came to the monastery. According to the testimony of the brethren, people continued to arrive in an endless stream.

On February 3, three thousand believers of the UOC gathered for a prayer service in defense of the monastery from the radicals who threatened to destroy the shrine. For 10 hours the Orthodox defended the monastery.

On January 27, the Kiev court sentenced the instigators of the Tithes Monastery of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the UOC from the right-wing organization "S14" to detention for 2 months or to bailment of UAH 2 million 200 thousand for each.

On January 25, the radicals undertook publicly the assault of the Monastery, and at night tried to commit arson. Radicals threatening the monastery's brethren shouted, "I'll burn you, slut! You're a KGB officer. I'll kick you now with my leg, okay? You are a slut that has no place here – I tell you that in Russian. To you, clowns in skirts, there is no respect."
