On the Feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, Metropolitan Meletiy of Chernivtsi and Bukovyna celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Intercession Convent in the village of Molodiia, Chernivtsi Eparchy, according to a Facebook post by UOC faithful of the Chernivtsi-Bukovyna Eparchy.
Concelebrating with the hierarch on the monastery’s patronal feast were Metropolitan Longin of Bancheny, Metropolitan Yevseviy of Shepetivka and Slavuta, Bishop Nikita of Ivano-Frankivsk and Kolomyia, and Bishop Job of Kitsman. The monastery’s clergy and other priests of the Chernivtsi Eparchy also joined in prayer.
During the Divine Liturgy, the hierarchs, clergy, and faithful offered prayers together for peace in Ukraine, deliverance from the enemy, and God’s mercy upon the people.
