Authorities block 100 cars of pilgrims heading to Pochaiv at Ternopil region
Police are not allowing vehicles accompanying the pilgrimage to the Pochaiv Lavra to enter the Ternopil region.
On the morning of August 24, police blocked more than 100 vehicles accompanying the pilgrimage from Kamianets-Podilskyi to the Pochaiv Lavra. A corresponding video was posted on the YouTube channel Children of Mercy.
The footage shows a cleric of the Odesa Eparchy, Archpriest Maksymian Pohorelovsky, speaking with a police officer and asking him to let the vehicles pass, to which the officer insists that he “has no authority” to do so. How the incident ended is not yet known.
It will be recalled that on August 19, a pilgrimage procession set out from Kamianets-Podilskyi to the Pochaiv Lavra.
