As part of his visit to Kyiv, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will serve a liturgy together with Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kyiv and All Ukraine at St. Sophia Cathedral on August 22.
“On Sunday, August 22, 2021, a solemn Divine Liturgy will be served by two Primates – His Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and His Beatitude Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kyiv and All Ukraine – in the open air in the territory of St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv,” the press service of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine informs, according to Ukrinform.
The liturgy will start at 9:00 Kyiv time.
In addition, the press service says, at 10:00 on August 21, a solemn meeting and a prayer of thanksgiving in honor of the Ecumenical Patriarch will take place at St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Cathedral on the occasion of his arrival in Ukraine.
