Greek “bishop” of UOC-KP shows off embroidered shirt on Ascension feast
Chrysostomos Kallis published photos of himself wearing a traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt on the day when the Feast of the Ascension coincided with Vyshyvanka Day.
On May 21, 2026, Greek “hierarch” of the UOC-KP Chrysostomos Kallis published photos of himself in a vyshyvanka. The images appeared on his Facebook page.
This year, May 21 coincided with the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord and Vyshyvanka Day, which is annually celebrated on the third Thursday of May. Chrysostomos Kallis, who refers to himself on his page as a metropolitan, combined the church feast with an element of Ukrainian national symbolism in his publication. Over the embroidered shirt, he wore one of his church orders.
As previously reported by the UOJ, according to Dumenko, it is difficult to imagine the OCU without embroidery.
