OCU performs "Chervona Kalyna" at "bishops'" procession
In one of OCU churches, on the feast of the Intercession of the Mother of God, “Chervona Kalyna” ("Red Viburnum"), the anthem of the Sich Riflemen, was performed during the procession. Human rights activist Victoria Kokhanovska posted a video of the "service" performed by "archbishop" Tikhon (Petraniuk Taras Ivanovich) on her Telegram channel.
In the video, the supporters of the OCU, walking in a cross procession, sing "Oh, there's a red viburnum in the meadow", and Petraniuk sprinkles everyone with a sprinkler painted in the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
"Even the unscrupulous Epifaniy should be VERY ashamed to keep such a ‘person’ as a bishop in his structure. But look, what a patriotic sprinkling! And the flag of Ukraine, and, of course, "Chervona Kalyna". A complete set, under such a "camouflage" you can do whatever you want, right!?" Kokhanovska noted.
As a reminder, a criminal case has been opened against "Archbishop" Tikhon under Article 190 Part 4 "Large-Scale Fraud". Also, the "hierarch" was found to have citizenship of the DPR.
