The resource Telegraf notes with surprise that in the Pochayiv Lavra, commemorations for the health and repose of AFU soldiers are accepted for free. This is stated in the report from the monastery.
According to the media, after the start of the full-scale war, the situation on the grounds of the shrine has changed somewhat. In particular, journalist Strus discovered that the schedule of services on the wall at the entrance to the Lavra's territory is written in Ukrainian.
"And what is really surprising is the announcement that prayer requets for the health and repose of AFU soldiers are accepted for free," the report states.
According to Strus, who came to the Orthodox shrine in shorts and without a headscarf, "the attitude towards visitors to the Lavra has softened." Realizing that she was inappropriately dressed, Strus attempted to enter the monastery's territory. Contrary to her expectations, the security let her in.
"There is still security there, as well as a stand with rules of conduct and dress code requirements. However, the journalist in shorts and without a headscarf was not hindered," comments theTelegraf reporter.
As reported by then UOJ, the head of the Ternopil RSA, who threatened to take away the Pochayiv Lavra, was sentenced to 9 years.
