On February 3, 2023, Epifaniy Dumenko will "serve" a festive "liturgy" in St. Sophia Cathedral on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of his taking the post of head of the OCU, the press service of this organization reports.
The service is scheduled for 9:00 am. At this time, the entrance to the territory of the Sophia Kyiv Reserve and the St. Sophia Cathedral will be free.
