Footage shows empty seized cathedral in Cherkasy on Easter
Only about a dozen people attended the Easter service held by the OCU in the Cherkasy cathedral taken from the UOC.
The Easter “service” of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) in the St. Michael’s Cathedral in Cherkasy – previously seized from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) – took place almost without a congregation. Screenshots from the livestream, published by the Pershyi Kozatskyi outlet, show that only about ten people were present inside the cathedral.

For comparison, journalists presented photos from the UOC’s Easter service in 2024, held in the same cathedral prior to its seizure. Those images show hundreds of worshippers gathered for the celebration.
