A photo from the service of the newly appointed head of the Khmelnytsky OCU “Bishop” Pavel Yuristy, on the eve of the Ascension, where there are fewer parishioners than clerics, was commented on Facebook by the rector of the Holy Trinity Ioninsky Monastery of the UOC in Kiev, Archbishop Iona (Cherepanov).

The service was held on the eve of the Ascension of the Lord in the Cathedral of St. Andrew the First-Called in Khmelnytsky.

“But what about the poll data? This is, it seems, the most influential confession of Ukraine,” wrote Archbishop Jonah.
