Lavra defender: We will stand for our shrines to the end!
There are a lot of believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and they do not intend to give up their shrines, says the Lavra's defender.
The defender of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra said that the believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church intend to defend their shrines to the end.
Wishing that the Divine Child Christ would grant everyone peace, spiritual joy and love, she said that "standing near the Lavra continues".
"We have stood here in the heat of summer, in the autumn rains, and now, in winter, in the cold. It can't be any other way! Because this is our faith, these are our shrines, for which we will stand to the end," she said.
"Let our authorities, persecutors of the UOC and even the whole world see that we are a living Christ's Church, that we are many, and we do not give up, because we are with God!" stressed the Lavra’s defender.
As earlier reported, despite the frost, the faithful of the UOC came to the Lavra for prayer standing.
