Dumenko announces his "service" at Lavra’s Dormition Cathedral at Easter
According to the head of the OCU, his organization "will eventually pray peacefully and quietly in the Lower Lavra as well".
The head of the OCU, Epifaniy Dumenko, announced his plans to hold a "service" at the Kyiv Caves Lavra's Dormition Cathedral at Easter.
Dumenko complained that the curfew, which will not be lifted in Kyiv on Easter night, "causes a bit of difficulty" so "the prayer will most likely be after curfew in the morning".
He also said that the OCU "will eventually pray peacefully and quietly in the Lower Lavra as well".
"We are not in favour of evicting the monks from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. We are for the spirit of the 'Russian world' not to reign here, for the Lavra to be Ukrainian, for prayers to be always heard in the Ukrainian language," Dumenko said.
As reported, Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko said that after the expulsion of the UOC from the Lavra, his office will "consider all proposals and projects on how to fill the territory of the Lower Lavra with content".
