the so-called kiss of metropolitan epiphanius in the canonical church understands that the decision to from the upper lavra is political and draws the attention of the brothers in faith living abroad to how the authorities treat them. before the events, it will be a great shame for ukraine, unlike other cases with the seizure of our temples by supporters of the ptsu. in this case, this raiding takes place directly on by order of the highest representatives of the authorities of the local church, abroad they will be , to put it mildly, surprised at the state of freedom of conscience and the rights to religious confession in our country in the days when the canonical church fought for its rights in the media space of ukraine once again raised a topic that is discussed every year more and more actively, when they celebrate christmas at all, the tv presenter joyfully reported that in just a year the number of those who celebrate it according to the gregorian calendar has grown from four percent to 11. and the idea to postpone celebrations on december 25 this year are supported by almost ha

the moscow patriarchate to transition to the orthodox church of ukraine headed by his beatitude epiphaniusto proceed obviously, this should be decided by the clergy themselves, for example, his beatitude metropolitan epiphanius, even speaking here while in rome, noted that the absolute majority of monks, even of the kyiv-pechers lavra, are ready for this step , why do we need these sanctions, this is a sign, this is er, absolutely clear -e movement on the part of the state indicated in ukraine by the state authorities at all levels, at the same time, using absolutely legitimate legal methods, it will no longer tolerate any direct or hidden constructions that were to promote russian pro-russian narratives, of course, in a certain organizational and ideological sense, this will contribute to the fact that every clergyman will understand that what follows is a situation that for more than 30 years, taking into account our traditional tolerance, our desire to be as favorable as possible to manifestations of absolutely any identity in the conditions it is not possible to continue to tolerate op

what is still going on in ukraine in the russian orthodox church the church despite the fact that epiphanius entered and held a service there in the kiev-pechersk lavra, all this whole church worked as it did and still works, their internal economy worked as it worked and still works, how they collected money and handed it over to cyril there, so obviously this process continues, is it possible the russian federation should create an internal front in ukraine and try to provoke the situation, because we understand that the current war between russia and ukraine is a hybrid one, and when medvedchuk is moved again, deputies who are collaborators and count on the russian federation are moving again, when there is a church that openly works for moscow, that is enough it's just that in the current situation, it is necessary to create another precedent and another front, the internal front . you that during the war and russia, the aggressor, and we tore them here. if not, i will give you two small examples, one example is the dnipro bombed house, the tragedy is beginning to collapse, and at this t

paul called this an insult to the flowers, and epiphanius himself a real demon, referring to the pasta ukrainian authorities were seizing churches. in fact , they are persecuting believers. pistols they armed against their people, that is a cover for what is being done together today unite, and did not begin the persecution of the church by christ, the kiev regime. not only does he instill his faith, the same means are used in the course of the new draft campaign. why are you holding hands like that? we're filming everything. so the inhabitants of the kirovograd region tried to stand up for one of the conscripts, who was attacked by superior forces of the military and the police failed to help the young man . but such photographs are taken by the inhabitants of odessa, where the employees of the military enlistment office ply around the city in ambulances, which apparently helps them get close to imperceptible to potential victims. the mobilization of ukraine is trying to be carried out not only at the state, but also at the interstate level, kiev is trying its best to draw as many oth

of 95 in the last days he felt unwell due to illness the head of the orthodox church of ukraine epiphanius will conduct a christmas service in the assumption cathedral of the kyiv-pechersk lavra. this will be the first liturgy in the history of the head of the autocephalous orthodox church of ukraine in the kyiv-pechersk lavra . in the carpathians, this year's ivano-frankivsk region was without guests, a record low number of vacationers came because of the war and the difficult economic situation, but they do not lose optimism, they believe that everything will definitely change and while they are helping displaced people, natalya will continue the farm on the streets of the yaremche resort , mostly local residents, there are almost no tourists here compared to last year, the difference is huge, pages including a month, people booked already in the next previous year, they booked already from may, june, new year, everything was december, including march everything was already busy, now people have no money, war, people well, like a broken trough, mr. mykhailo has hundreds of regular custom

criminal liability for the admission of the head of the orthodox church of ukraine, metropolitan epiphanius, to the territory of the shrine . ukrainian citizen believers cannot enter the territory of the kyiv-pechersk lavra simply because it is the metropolitan of, let's say, another church, which is very strange and not very christian in my opinion history, but god is with us, uh, in the end, the end of this story is over and done , but still there will be a christmas service. the agreement is reported by bbc news ukraine from the post of acting general director of the national reserve kyiv-pechersk lavra of oleksandr rudnyka, so everything is agreed, the service will be held , we will broadcast it don't forget watch thank you now for the broadcast. thank you too. well, now the main issues are security, but for this there is a security service, the national police, and other power structures that have to provide this security for ukrainian citizens the day after tomorrow . thank you for the broadcast. for your work i tell you see you tomorrow about the most important thing in a few moments

remind you that there was information that the head of the orthodox church of ukraine, his beatitude epiphanius serving the liturgy in the ukrainian language in the main cathedral of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, which called the big church or the dormition cathedral, it fully suggests that there may be provocations on the part of the so-called moscow patriarchate and agents of the kremlin, and in kyiv, in particular, yesterday there was such a closed meeting regarding the churches of the kiev-pechersk lavra, with the participation of the management of the reserve, there were representatives of the so-called pasha mercedes or metropolitan pavel, he did not come personally, he did not appear, but there were his representatives, there were his lawyers, there were lawyers who, in particular, asked the director of the kiev-pechersk e-e of the reserve whether were addressed to the orthodox church of ukraine with a request to grant permission for services to be held in the assumption cathedral, and here is a state official whom you and i keep for our taxes eh said that he heard about such an initiative, a
