Multiple-time world boxing champion Vasyl Lomachenko assisted a UOC priest during the Paschal service at one of the UOC churches in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi.

The corresponding video was published by the local channel "Typical Akkerman". The footage shows Lomachenko holding a cup with holy water, from which the priest sprinkles Paschal baskets. The sportsman is dressed in a sexton's sticharion. The publication does not specify which church it was; the blessing took place along the street.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that Usyk participated in the Easter night service in Spain.
