In December 2025, with the blessing of Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine, a children's educational prayer book with prayers in Church Slavonic and Ukrainian transliteration was presented in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This was reported on the Telegram page of the Youth Union "Odihitria".
The publication was prepared by the Family Affairs Department of the Kyiv Eparchy of the UOC in collaboration with the Orthodox parent community "Family is Land". The book is intended for children and aims to introduce them to the Church's prayer tradition.
The prayer book includes basic prayers, explanations about the time and order of prayer, as well as clarifications on the content of the texts. Ukrainian transliteration makes reading easier and gradually prepares children to understand Church Slavonic.
It is noted that each page is provided with a glossary of difficult Church Slavonic words and illustrations, making the edition suitable for use both at home and in Sunday schools.
Previously, the UOJ reported that an Olympiad was held among Sunday school students in the Rivne Eparchy.
