Services were held in the Lavra in honor of the finding of the relics of Hieromartyr Vladimir, Metropolitan of Kyiv and Halych.
In the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, services were held on the day of the finding of the relics of Hieromartyr Vladimir, Metropolitan of Kyiv and Halych. This was reported by the Lavra's press service.
The Divine Liturgy in the church of Venerable Agapitus of the Caves was led by Bishop Arkady of Hostomel, vicar of the Kyiv eparchy of the UOC. He was co-served by the brethren of the monastery and invited clergy. On the eve of the feast, an All-Night Vigil was celebrated in the same church.
At the conclusion of the Liturgy, the clergy and faithful performed a moleben in the center of the church. The participants of the service prayerfully honored the memory of Hieromartyr Vladimir, who served as Metropolitan of Kyiv and Halych and received a martyr's death in 1918.
«Hieromartyr Vladimir is a saint of God who labored alongside the venerable fathers of the Kyiv Caves until his very martyr's death in 1918, and now together with them glorifies the Lord in the dwellings of the Heavenly Kingdom. His life's path is an example of Christian holiness and prayerful asceticism. His soul rejoices now in the dwellings of God, calling each of us to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of the Lord and His Holy Church», – the monastery reminded.
As the UOJ reported, a cleric of the OCU called for expelling monks from the Lavra under «wartime laws».
