Medieval methods are used to intimidate participants in the procession
Doctor of Philosophy Alexander Sagan scares the participants of the procession, which is organized by the UOC-MP, with a lunar eclipse.
At a press conference in Kiev, he stated that he sees this as a sign, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“On July 27, the longest and longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century will occur. It is on this day that this action will take place, which I would call the spiritual eclipse of Ukraine. Today we cannot abstract ourselves and say that this is only a church issue. This is a national issue and a matter of national security,” Sagan said.
Previously, the authorities intimidated the participants of the procession with possible provocations of nationalists. The fact is that this year the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko will join another religious procession, which will be held on July 28 by the Kiev Patriarchs, not recognized by world Orthodoxy. People from all over the country will be brought to this event free of charge. Last year, the “Moscow” Procession of the Cross gathered dozens more believers than the “Kiev” one.
The lunar eclipse can be observed from 22:30 to 00:13 on the night of July 27-28.
