In Lutsk, the first stone has been laid in the foundation of the Chapel of George the Victory-Bearer, which will be built in memory of fallen militia officers. The church will be erected near the building of the regional department of internal affairs, since the Holy Great Martyr has since ancient times been considered the patron saint of farmers and military servicemen.
The celebrations were attended by the first deputy head of the regional state administration, Volodymyr Panchyshyn, the head of the council of veterans of internal affairs workers of Volyn, Anton Ivanovych Lavryniuk, and the deputy of the regional council, Hanna Semenivna Maslai.
As reported by "INFA," Vladyka Nifont, who performed the rite of consecration of the cornerstone and the site for the chapel, called the event "historic" for Volyn.
