Cross starts streaming myrrh during moleben at Verkhovna Rada
The Memorial Cross near the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine
On June 17, during the moleben at the Verkhovna Rada, the believers noticed the Crucifix crying oil. On this day, about 1 000 parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church prayed here for the preservation of Christian family values and peace in Ukraine.
All churches and monasteries of the eparchies of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church performed prayer services for the preservation of the Orthodox family on this day. On June 17 in Kiev, LGBT representatives held the March of Equality. Several dozen opponents of the action were detained by the police.
It is not the first time the holy cross has been reported to stream myrrh near the Verkhovna Rada. The previous case was recorded by the believers on May 18, 2017, during the prayerful standing near the Parliament regarding the danger of adopting anti-church bills Nos. 4128, 4511, etc.
