The Pershyi Kozatskyi media outlet published a video from the village of Panka in Bukovyna, where the UOC’s Demetrius community celebrated Palm Sunday just one week after their church was taken over by OCU raiders.
The service was attended by a large number of parishioners. Within a single week, the faithful were able to find and equip a new space for worship.
"They may take the walls, but they will never take our faith and unity! Wishing everyone a blessed Palm Sunday!!!" parishioners commented on the situation.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the OCU seized the UOC’s Demetrius Church in the village of Panka.
