Shortly after the seizure of the St. Panteleimon temple in Vyshhorod by the "priests" of the OCU on February 24, 2024, the community kicked out the invaders, managed to return the keys and reclaim the shrine, reports Dozor_kozak1.
About 60 parishioners came to their temple in the morning to defend the church. "Go away, no one called you here!" said the parishioners of the Panteleimon temple to the "priests" of the OCU Klos and Bolshakov. Then people were able to enter the territory. The UOC rector Dionisiy Denisenko was given the keys to the "OCU" lock. People entered their temple and served a thanksgiving prayer service.
We will remind, in the early morning of February 21, the cleric of the OCU from the village of Fenevychi Yuri Bolshakov cut the locks in the St. Panteleimon church of Vyshhorod because he "could not sleep". The community managed to get its church back under control. However, on February 24, Bolshakov cut the locks off the temple again.
