Field temple is a regular tent. But it  can be identified by the cross on top, inside there are altar, icons, candles. The idea to establish a chapel belongs to Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church priest Igor Onyshkevych . He wanted every protester, regardless the religious affiliation, could come here and pray.

"The first Liturgy was led by Redemptorist monks. And at night Orthodox priest was praying  with his faithful here "- says Fr. Leonid Hryhorenko, CSSR.

He said that the chapel will stand here as long as protests continue. Ihor Onyshkevych has appointed priests who conduct services and created a schedule .

"Today, our chapel was filled with faithful and many were standing outside. But numbers don't matter. The chapel should exist even for one person "- fr. Leonid Hryhorenko says.
