OCU, Greek Catholic and Protestant chaplains held a joint ecumenical prayer service at the Zaporizhzhian Sich to mark Chaplain's Day.
Chaplains from the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), and Protestant denominations held a joint ecumenical prayer service on Khortytsia Island in Zaporizhzhia, the Zaporizhzhia City Council reports.
The event, marking Chaplain's Day, took place in a church within the Zaporizhzhian Sich historical and cultural complex. The joint service, attended by representatives of various denominations, was led by OCU chaplain Viktor Tkach and included a special prayer for Ukraine.
The Zaporizhzhia City Council noted that despite belonging to different denominations and military units, the chaplains are united in their service to Ukrainian troops.
As the UOJ previously reported, the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (UCCRO) called on President Zelensky to officially establish Military Chaplain's Day in Ukraine.
