Metropolitan Epífaníj in Bližní Pečera... it is the place where the venerable fathers of Kyiv-Pečera rested for centuries. It is interesting to me how the brothers from the canonical Church feel now when they see services like this there.

It is even more strange to me because the brothers from the canonical Church maintained and cleaned those caves for centuries. How does it look now when someone else holds the akathist in the place where their holy fathers rested?

I agree, Zoran, that is very unusual. Brethren from the canonical Church spent years there cleaning and guarding those caves, and now someone else is holding the akathist on the graves of their saints. I wonder how the ordinary believers who come there to pray feel.

Metropolitan Epiphanius in the Near Caves... where the brothers of the canonical Church have been cleaning and maintaining for centuries. I wonder how ordinary people who go to pray at the graves of the reverend fathers feel. Can there be peace in such a situation?
