In the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, where the UOC-MP now runs, icons began to disappear.
Radio Liberty correspondent Roksolana Bichay noticed, in particular, where they used to hang at the exit from the distant caves of the Reserve.
"Journalists asked several priests where the icons went, but none answered. At the same time, other fathers said that they planned to take everything out of the reserve except for the relics because they consider all the property, including icons, to be the property of the ROC," Radio Liberty reports.
As you know, the Reserve terminates the lease agreement with the UOC-MP on March 29. Earlier, Metropolitan Pavel said that the monks will not leave the territory of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. At the same time, the Ministry confirmed that representatives of the UOC-MP had begun the process of leaving.
