Currently, work continues on reviewing the texts of services, akathists, and prayers dedicated to saints, as well as those honoring renowned icons of the Most Holy Theotokos.
It is noted that the report presented by the chairman of the Liturgical Commission was approved by members of the Holy Synod of the UOC.
