The video of the "service" held on 9 January 2024 by the OCU clerics in front of the Kazan Church of the UOC in Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia region, raided by their supporters, has gone viral on the Net. The published footage shows that the Dumenkov "priests" do not know how to make the sign of the cross.

In particular, the man in priestly vestments leading the "prayer", instead of the sign of the cross, every time waves his hand up and down in front of him. His associate is not much better at crossing himself.

Many Net users commented on the video. "Shock, I have never seen such a thing"; "Like faith, like a cross"; "Why do they need temples if they do not know how to cross themselves?"; "Fears the sign of the cross. For a reason," Ukrainians share their impressions.

As reported, at 5:15 a.m. OCU raiders used a bulldozer to break down the door of the UOC church in Ladyzhyn, brutally beat and threw the rector and parishioners into the street, and then barricaded themselves inside the church.
