The incident was associated with covid restrictions, due to which no one was near the patriarch within a meter radius.
On Saturday, June 25, in Novorossiysk, during the dedication of the temple, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, fell on the wet marble floor. This was reported by the Russian media.
It was reported that they did not have time to catch him, as there was no adjacent within a radius of one meter, although the covid restrictions in the region were virtually removed.
Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev attributed the situation to anti-coronavirus restrictions.
“Neither the security guards, nor the protocol service, nor the bishops standing nearby were on time. The patriarch’s back hurt on the side of the pulpit. The liturgy continued. Metropolitan Gregory and the local bishop Theognost looked guilty at the patriarch and waited for a reaction. But the coronavirus restrictions are to blame, because of which the patriarch does not allow you to touch him and support him in the steps, “Kuraev wrote.
Earlier, the head of the OCU, Epiphany, said that Gundyaev sided with the Antichrist. According to him, the ideology of the “Russian world” is no different from the ideology of Nazism.
