On 10 September 2023, parishioners of the UOC temple of the Nativity of the Mother of God, which was taken away by representatives of the OCU, prayed in the street, reports the Telegram channel "Dozor on Kozak1".
Sunday service of the faithful of the Church of the Nativity of the Nativity of the Mother of God in the town of Kamin-Kashyrskyi was held in the open air, in the presence of more than 600 parishioners, who cannot pray in their church, which raiders from the OCU re-registered in their structure.
The service was led by Bishop Afanasiy of Kamin-Kashyrskyi concelebrated by the temple and town clergy.
At the moment, the church community fears provocations and attempts of storming from Epifaniy's supporters every time they open the doors of the shrine.
As earlier reported, AFU soldiers opposed the "transfer" of the UOC temple to the OCU in Kamin-Kashyrskyi.
