Archimandrite of the Russian Orthodox Church Cyril (Hovorun) in an interview for the Georgian Public TV channel spoke about “monasteries – hotbeds of the virus” and that “the Eucharist is not an antiseptic.” In addition, theology professor Hovorun demonstrated his medical knowledge, stating that “without wearing a mask and communing others”, “they commit murder.”

“The Eucharist is not an antiseptic. There is no magic here, it doesn’t work. Vaccination is a manifestation of deep faith,” continued Hovorun.

Not vaccination, in his opinion, is at the same time a sin of suicide and murder. The one who does not wear a mask, walks and communes others – murders those around him.
