A video was published on the Web, where male parishioners and female parishioners pass through the altar of one of the Uniate churches to venerate the icon hanging behind the throne. All this is being watched by a bishop who looks like the Uniate Metropolitan of Ternopil-Zborov Vasyl Semeniuk.

Volodymyr Kovtach, who posted the video on his Facebook page, wrote "UGCC!" and quoted the 69th canon of the VI Ecumenical Council: “It is not permitted to a layman to enter the sanctuary (Holy Altar, Gk.).”

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that a pagan performance was staged in the Lviv temple of the UGCC.
