As the UOJ reported, hundreds of priests and believers of the Chernovtsy region spoke out against the seizure of temples of the canonical Church. Against the backdrop of iniquity and widespread church raiding, a 24-hour prayer standing is underway in several parishes of the Chernovtsy Eparchy in defense of the faith.
