Twenty Fourth Anniversary of Chornobyl Disaster
Ukrainian Orthodox Church
On Sunday, April 25, at his residence (block 70 of the Kyiv Caves Monastery) the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church blessed the motor-bike sacred procession dedicated to the 24th anniversary of Chornobyl disaster.
The action organizers were Military Department of the Kyiv Diocese of the UOC, Synodal Department “Church and Culture”, Kyiv city motor-bike club “Night Wolves”.
Blessing the bikers, the Primate wished them a happy journey and God’s help in their good intentions, which are a good example of their love for the Motherland and the Church.
Thereafter the Archpastor aspersed with the Holy water the bikes and a loaf of bread with which the bikers would follow in a sacred procession. At the end, Metropolitan Volodymyr blessed those present with the icons of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
The action organizers, on behalf of its participants presented His Beatitude Volodymyr with a baked horn of abundance with the wishes of health and many years of life.
Thus, the next two days the bikers will follow the route Kyiv-Chornobyl, along which they will pray, in particular, at St. Elias Church at the pannikhida service.
In future several similar actions are planned. In particular, a motor-vehicle sacred procession dedicated to Victory Day will be held along Kyiv, and on commemoration of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul the procession follow throughout the western regions of Ukraine.
