On July 15, people were brought to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in an organized way, according to the Save_Lavra Telegram channel.
"Entry to the monastery was allowed only with a passport. Bags, packages, and all personal belongings were checked. It seems that the closed Upper Lavra for believers was hosting joint events organized by the reserve and the OCU," the Telegram channel of the monastery reported.
Earlier, it was announced that Epifaniy Dumenko would conduct events in the Refectory Church of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra to mark the 1036th anniversary of the Baptism of Ukraine-Rus, the feast day of St. Vladimir the Equal-to-the-Apostles, Prince of Kyiv, and the Day of Ukrainian Statehood.
