Photos from Lavra show Venerable Fathers' reliquaries piled under staircase

Reliquaries with the relics of the Venerable Fathers of the Caves dumped by reserve staff. Photo: Telegram channel “Odihitria”

The Odihitria Telegram channel published a photograph showing reliquaries with the relics of the Venerable Fathers of the Caves stacked haphazardly in a cramped room resembling a corridor.

The photo, taken through a window, shows the reliquaries standing tightly pressed against one another. Nearby is a staircase leading up, beneath which cardboard boxes are dumped. On a piece of furniture there is a glass with leftover coffee.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that photos surfaced online showing reserve staff manipulating the relics of the Venerable Fathers of the Caves.
