This was reported in the Union of Orthodox Journalists.

"The Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is now. The faithful of the canonical Church are going to the service," the report said.

The service will be headed by Metropolitan Onufriy of Kiev and All Ukraine.

A court in Ukraine had previously placed Metropolitan Pavel under house arrest for two months.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Kiev mocks and mocks Orthodoxy.

According to her, Zelensky, the court and the crowd "rage in Lent."

The Security Service of Ukraine reported that since 2022, 61 criminal cases have been initiated against the clergy of the canonical UOC.

Almost 250 representatives of the UOC were banned from entering the country.
