The wife of the holder of the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight titles Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) reacted to a photo of her husband in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. On March 29, eyewitnesses filmed the famous Ukrainian boxer when he came to the morning service.
“Faith is in the soul of each of us. For me, faith is, first of all, actions, a way of life and inner light. God is not in a cassock, God is in the soul, but everyone needs their own way to come to this. Good will defeat the evil intentions of our neighbors. Lavra is on Ukrainian soil, and we have every right to go there whenever we want. Point. Glory to Ukraine,” Kateryna Usyk wrote.
As GLOBAL HAPPENINGS reported, on March 29, the monks of the Moscow Patriarchate must finally leave the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra reserve.
Earlier, Usyk stated that he would “side up with the monks” during the so-called capture of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. He also called the head of the UOC-MP Onufriy “the father of our Orthodox Church, peaceful Orthodox Ukraine.”
December 15, 2018 Alexander received the Order of St. Ilya Muromets 1st degree. The award was presented to the Ukrainian boxer by the Metropolitan of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate Onufry.
Recall that the national reserve “Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra” on March 10 announced the termination of the lease agreement with the monastery of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The diocese of the UOC-MP is against such a decision of the Ministry of Culture. Metropolitan Kliment stated that the department allegedly has no legal grounds for eviction.
Since March 21, the monks and believers of the UOC-MP have been banned from entering the caves of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. They explain that the commission of the Ministry of Culture evaluates the preservation of cultural values. On March 24, the monks of the UOC-MP began to collect and actively take out things from the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
