Following the seizure of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church's cathedral in Cherkasy and the diocesan administration's property, the Cherkasy Eparchy reported theft, including the seal of Metropolitan Theodosiy of Cherkasy and Kaniv. The perpetrators have begun using the stolen seal for their own purposes.
The diocese displayed paper strips on churches, used to seal premises in the name of Metropolitan Theodosiy.
"If you see such a paper strip, just tear it off," advises the press service.
"We emphasize: this seal no longer belongs to Metropolitan Theodosius; it is in the hands of criminals, as is the seal of the Martyr Daniel Mliyevsky Foundation."
The diocese urges believers to remain calm and not succumb to provocations, highlighting that the use of the stolen seal is illegal.
As previously reported by UOJ, the press service of the Cherkasy Eparchy of the UOC accused representatives of the OCU of attempting to discredit Metropolitan Theodosiy. Books allegedly belonging to Metropolitan Theodosiy bore the seal of the Martyr Daniel Mliyevsky Foundation.
