On the patronal feast – the holiday of St. Theodosius of the Caves – the Refectory Church of Saints Anthony and Theodosius in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is closed. This is evidenced by a video published by the Information and Education Department of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The Assumption Cathedral of the Lavra is also closed.

In addition, the video contains footage from an empty church of the Theodosius Monastery of the OCU, which is located next to the Kyiv-Pechersk Convent.

As the UOJ reported, on the eve of the holiday, the head of the OCU, Epifaniy Dumenko, and the head of the State Ethnic Policy, Viktor Yelensky, opened an exhibition in the Refectory Chamber of the Sts Anthony and Theodosius Church. The event was dedicated to temples and cult buildings of different religions that were damaged during the war.
