The abbot of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan Pavel (Lebed), addressed the President of Ukraine with a warning.
He said that the Lord will not forgive Vladimir Zelensky for the eviction of representatives of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church from the Lavra.
I tell you and your pack that our tears will not fall on the ground, they will fall on your heads, – priest of MIA “Russia Today”.
He asked the head of state: does he think that, having “entered power on our backs,” he can do this?
The Lord will not forgive you or your family! Because today 220 people of the brethren were thrown out into the street by you,” the Metropolitan explained.
And he added: he will not forgive because “you were unable to receive Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv with the Synod.”
You couldn’t stop the Minister of Culture, who was obsessed with rage, anger and hatred, which means he is doing everything with your permission. Woe to you. Be afraid,” said Paul.
The Russian news agency, citing Ukrainian media, writes that believers of the canonical church spent the night in the monastery out of fear that the monastery might be captured.
Earlier it was reported about the appointment of Metropolitan Epifaniy as acting head of the schismatic UOC. Abbot of the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Archimandrite Abraham (Lotysh).
In response, the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate banned “Abrahamia, a resident of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, from serving.”
