Holiday Palm Sunday in Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Ukraine


Palm sunday in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
The liturgy has just been celebrated. Some people are in a hurry to bless willow branches, some are on the way to venerate the relics of saints in the caves of the monastery, some are having a tour with the historian Vlad Dyatlov, the monks are fulfilling their obediences... 
But that's only a part of the picture. A tragedy is happening right here - citizens want to evict the monks from the monastery, and activists are protesting to declare that monks and believers are criminals and enemies of the State.
Accusations and insults are being spread and presented as patriotic statements.
