UOC MP Archbishop Klyment (Vecheria) informed Ukrainian News Agency about this.
"By tradition, religious services will be held in all churches of the lower Lavra. The final schedule of religious services is still being formed. We do not know when the religious service will be held at OCU. We will have it both at night and in the early hours of the morning," he said.
At night, the service will start at 11:00 p.m. and will continue until 04:00 a.m. in the morning.
