In Lutsk, near the walls of the Holy Trinity Cathedral, a hunger strike by believers of the UOC of the Kyiv Patriarchate began in the evening of October 12. Ten parishioners of the Holy Michael's Church from Lyuboml are demanding that the leadership of the Volyn Eparchy of the UOC KP not change their spiritual father. According to the protesters, Father Volodymyr was appointed to their parish a year ago. The young priest gained considerable authority among the people. In a short period, the community was able to build a small chapel in Lyuboml. However, some of the believers are dissatisfied with the new priest and appealed to Vladyka Mykhailo with a demand to replace Father Volodymyr. After some time, a new priest appeared in Lyuboml – Father Viktor. However, the community still does not let him into the old church or the new chapel. Now on Sunday, during the service, police are on duty near the church. Given that today is the feast of the Holy Protection, the believers from Lyuboml will go home, but then they plan to return again to the walls of the Cathedral in the regional center of Volyn. The priests and the press service of the Volyn Eparchy of the UOC of the Kyiv Patriarchate are currently refraining from comment, promising to hold a press conference in the near future.
