28 Ukrainian saints to be considered for Church-wide veneration

The session of the Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church, currently convened in Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral, will consider the question of Church-wide veneration of 28 Ukrainian saints, reports Pravmir.

The saints in question are already venerated by the faithful of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, but the gathered hierarchs will take up the question of approving them Church-wide veneration in all eparchies throughout the canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The members of the Holy Synod decided to include the issue in the agenda of the Council of Bishops’ session, having heard a report of the canonization commission, detailing the official materials relating to the evidence of their veneration throughout all eparchies of Ukraine and in Belarus and Russia as well.

On 30 November 2017, the second day of the Council’s work, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufry of Kiev and All Ukraine presented a report about the life of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the present context and her peacemaking service.
