100 thousand Orthodox Christians expected on Vladimirskaya Gorka
Attempts by the Ukrainian authorities to oppose the religious procession in honor of the 1030th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus' had the opposite effect.
This was reported by the Information and Educational Department of the UOC, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the organizers of the procession, many participants have already reached Kiev, despite all the obstacles. It is expected that the event will be attended by more than one hundred thousand believers, who are already gathering on Vladimir Hill in Kyiv.
“Because of this resistance, more people went than planned,” noted Archpriest Viktor Zemlyanoy, cleric of the Rivne diocese.
Let us remind you that tonight the security forces tried to block the movement of buses with believers from the regions of Ukraine, under the pretext of searching for explosives. Believers from Zaporozhye, Rivne and other regions of Ukraine were subject to searches.
