The number of believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church at the Kiev Procession is so great that people have completely filled the area from the Vladimir Hill to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
The cross walkers are already entering the Lavra, but the flow of the faithful is not weakening: there are still many people on the Vladimir Hill.
