A video was published on the Web from the Intercession Church of the OCU in Bila Tserkva, where the raider-“priest” Mykola Hopainych, during an attempt to “commune” a child, took out a drinking glass thrown there by the child from the Chalice, put it on the table, and left. The video was posted on her Facebook page by human rights activist Viktoria Kokhanovska.
The footage shows that Hopainych gives an 18-month-old child a glass with a drink, the child drinks water and throws the glass into the Chalice. The “priest” takes out the glass with his fingers and puts it on the table. The sexton pushes this glass further, pours water into it again, and gives it to other communicants. The "communion" was administered without any plat.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that according to Hopainych, for the first time his people came to seize the UOC Cathedral at night, since there are a lot of people during the day.
