The Vinnytsia diocese of the UOC reported that due to martial law, the annual procession from the Holy Trinity Brailovsky Monastery to the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra would not be held.
“In this procession, which begins on the day of the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, Orthodox believers participated not only from the Vinnitsa region, but from different parts of our Motherland. People took upon themselves the voluntary feat of the Crusaders in order to glorify the Most Holy Theotokos in the Pochaev Lavra after its completion and pray for themselves and our people.
The Vinnitsa diocese declares that due to the martial law in our country there will be no traditional religious procession. The possible organization and decision to participate in the procession is a matter of conscience for Christians and their personal responsibility,” the diocese writes.
