On April 2, 2025, in the Kamianske Eparchy of the UOC, the Great Lent procession "With Prayer for Peace" began. As reported by the eparchy's press service, priests and believers with Orthodox relics are visiting churches in the region.
On April 2 and 3, the ark with the relics of the Lord's Passion, which arrived from the Ilyinsky Monastery in Odessa, along with a part of the relics of the Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon and a part of the relics of Saint Anatolius, Patriarch of Constantinople, were brought to the churches of the city of Kamenskoye.
On Wednesday of the fifth week of Great Lent, prayers were offered in Churches of Saint Equal-to-the-Apostles Princess Olga and Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Volodymyr. On Thursday, the Great Lent procession "With Prayer for Peace" visited the churches dedicated to the icon of the Mother of God "Look Upon Humility" and the Church of St. Seraphim of Sarov.
Special prayers were offered before the holy relics for peace in Ukraine so that the Lord may protect the city and its residents, for the local authorities, the soldiers, and for the families affected by the war.
As reported by the UOJ, monastic tonsures were performed in the convent of the Kamianske Eparchy.
