This year, because of the war, he was brought from Jerusalem not by plane, as before, but by land.
Volhynia was the first in Ukraine to encounter the Holy Fire. This was reported in the Volyn diocese of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
The fire was greeted by a delegation led by the Metropolitan of Lutsk and Volyn Mikhail on the Polish border.
“Christ is Risen”, – Michael greeted the audience, who received the fire.
He was then, accompanied by the patrol police, to be taken to the temples of the region, so that the Volhynians could take them to their homes. Also, patrolmen from the Kyiv region have been on fire throughout Ukraine.
Every year, the fire is transported from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem by plane to Ukraine, but this year, because of the war, it was brought to Ukraine by land.
The fire, which, according to many believers, appears in a miraculous way, symbolizes the miraculous light of Christ’s Resurrection and is considered an altar.
Recall that Ukrainians were warned about the danger of visiting the church at Easter. Russian troops could fire on churches during mass worship, so Ukrainians were advised to watch broadcasts of the Liturgy from home if possible.
