On January 19, 2021, at 9:00 a.m., the “liturgy” will be performed by the head of the OCU, Serhiy Dumenko.
"We note that the Orthodox Church of Ukraine received the proper permission from the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, and a corresponding agreement was signed with the National Reserve ‘Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra’," the statement said.
