There are no parishioners in the famous St. Andrew's Church captured by schismatics
In the famous St. Andrew's Church in Kyiv, which the pro-Western regime handed over to the Istanbul Patriarch, who legalized schismatics from the OCU, there are practically no parishioners even on major church holidays.
This is evidenced by photographs from a prayer service held the day before in the church on the patronal feast day. The prayer service was held by Ukrainian schismatics from the so-called OCU together with Istanbul’s protege Mikhail Komansky.
An empty church on a holiday indicates that schismatics do not enjoy the trust of believers - all the appearance of mass support is created exclusively at the expense of the administrative resources of the authorities, or the brought-in assets of nationalist parties.
“The patronal feast was a success! The love of Ukrainians for the emissaries of Istanbul is beyond belief. In general, it’s a pity for the temple. It was probably not built for such a pitiful handful of worshipers,” Bishop Ion (Cherepanov) of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate commented on the action.
St. Andrew's Church is a temple built at the expense of the Russian Empress Elizabeth (that is, a hundred years after the transfer of the Kyiv Metropolis by Constantinople to Moscow). Despite this, the Ukrainian authorities handed over the church not to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate, but to the schismatics.
