On November 3, 2021, the "hierarch" of the OCU and ex-metropolitan of the UOC Alexander (Drabinko) "improved" the text of the prayer at the deacon's "ordination" by making a remark to one of the "priests" at the altar.
"You also have a beautiful hairstyle," was the words with which the "hierarch" of the OCU reacted to the actions of the "priest" who closed the video camera that broadcast the "liturgy" on Drabinko's Fb page.
It is noteworthy that Drabinko spoke about the "hairstyle", holding his hands on the head of the new clergyman of the OCU, in the same tone and manner as the prayer for the deacon’s ordination.
As a result, the text of the prayer, "improved" by Drabinko, looked like this (in the video – from 01:07:15): “Because not through the ordination of my hands, but in the attendance of Your rich bounties, grace worthy of You is given, let this one be without any sin,… and you also have a beautiful hairstyle,… on the Last Day of Your judgment to appear blameless before You.”
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Drabinko led a "wedding ceremony" at the NSC Olimpiysky in Kyiv.
