Pereyaslav Сity Council wants to transfer Ascension Cathedral to OCU
On August 18, 2022, the city authorities of Pereyaslav, on the initiative of Mayor Viacheslav Saulko, turned to Dumenko and asked him to take over the Ascension Cathedral, which houses the museum complex “Battle for the Dnieper near Pereyaslav and the creation of the Bukryn bridgehead in the autumn of 1943,” reports ProSlav.
In the appeal, the deputies recalled that at the end of the 1990s, the community of the UOC-KP was registered in the Ascension Cathedral, and later the cathedral was transferred to the OCU, but services are rarely held in it. Officials propose to move the museum located in the cathedral to another place and also transfer the vacant premises to the OCU.
“We ask you to support our aspirations and appeal to the President and Government of Ukraine on the transfer of the religious building of national importance of the Ascension Cathedral to the religious community of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the expediency of staying in the religious building of the museum-diorama ‘Battle for the Dnieper near Pereyaslav and the creation of the Bukryn bridgehead in the autumn of 1943’ (dismantling and moving to another location)," says the appeal of the Pereyaslav City Council to Dumenko, signed by Mayor Viacheslav Saulko and Secretary of the City Council Lidia Overchuk.
As reported, Tarasivka authorities “transferred” the Assumption community of the UOC to the OCU at the meeting.
