In the Ternopil church of St. Ilya, UGCC singers sang the song of the Soviet poet Vladimir Zabashtansky "Ukraine, I pray for you" during the festive polyeleos. The video from the worship was published on Facebook by the press service of the religious community.
The footage features women in embroidered shirts singing a song about “sinful-holy” Ukraine, with a local priest anointing parishioners with oil nearby.
In the comments, people reacted with indignation to the "concert" of the choristers at the service.
“No fear of God! Concert and that’s it. Both on the head and in the head. Forgive them, God, and bring them to senses,” wrote Galina Serman.
“Song and Dance Ensemble,” Alexander Skulovets commented ironically on the publication.
As the UOJ reported, a pagan performance was staged in the Lviv church of the UGCC.
