The regional dean of the Volyn Eparchy of the Kyiv Patriarchate, Protopresbyter Ivan Semeniuk, and the senior chaplain of the eparchy, Protopresbyter Oleksandr Bezkorovainy, served a memorial service in one of Lutsk's parks (on Potebni Street), at the site of the shooting of 10,000 girls by NKVD executioners. Together with the priests and parishioners of the Holy Trinity Cathedral, UPA veterans and representatives of the Union of Ukrainian Women prayed. Addressing those present with a sermon, the regional dean noted that today, more than ever, Christians need to pray together at such holy places. The prayer of faith, the priest emphasized, will help not only those destroyed by the godless authorities, but also their enemies, and will unite today's generation in a Christian understanding of the Ukrainian past.
