On April 7, 2023, on the feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the OCU plans to conduct a "festive Liturgy" at the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, reports pomisna.info.
Whether the head of the OCU, Epifaniy Dumenko, will lead the "service", the message does not specify.
As reported, after Dumenko's first "services" in the Upper Lavra, the crosses on the Refectory Church and the Dormition Cathedral turned black.
