On October 23, 2025, on the Day of Commemoration of All Saints of Volhynia, the cathedral of the Volyn Eparchy of the UOC celebrated its patronal feast in Lutsk. This was reported by the eparchy's press service.
The Divine Liturgy was led by Metropolitan Serhiy of Ternopil and Kremenets. He was concelebrated by Metropolitan Nathaniel of Volyn and Lutsk and the vicar of the Volyn Eparchy, Archbishop Athanasiy of Kamin-Kashyrskyi.
Together with the hierarchs, the clergy from the Volyn and other eparchies of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and thousands of residents of Lutsk and guests of the city prayed at the festive service.
The celebrations concluded with a festive prayer for many years, after which Metropolitan Serhiy congratulated everyone present on the feast. The ruling hierarch of the Volyn Eparchy thanked all for their prayers and wished the faithful children of the Church of Christ to multiply the fire of Christ’s grace that filled the hearts of all the Saints of Volhynia.
