On December 11, during a protest against the actions of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, unknown persons burned an effigy of Patriarch Bartholomew on St. Sophia Square in Kyiv, newsone.ua reports.

During the action on December 11, participants held posters with the following words: "Suitcase, station, Phanar", "Bartholomew the heresiarch", "Bartholomew – Pompeo's servant" and others. The action, like it was last time, gathered several dozen people.

This is the third action against the actions of Patriarch Bartholomew; the first took place on Thursday 26 November, the second on 4 December. The organizer of the action remains unknown. The Metropolitanate of the UOC declares that the UOC is not involved.

 

As the UOJ wrote earlier, another rally was held in Kyiv against the actions of the head of Phanar.
