UOC: Dukonsky Monastery to be closed, its monks driven out of the region
The Ivano-Frankivsk Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church reported on its website that armed people seized the Holy Trinity Dukonsky Monastery. Meanwhile, the official Telegram channel of the Chernivtsi Eparchy of the UOC, citing local residents, wrote that the monastery's inhabitants are being evicted from the monastery and forbidden to live in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.
"This is the end of the 23-year history of the Holy Trinity Dukonsky Monastery. Another monastic place in the Ivano-Frankivsk region is being closed. It turns out that no one needs the unceasing prayer of the monks," reads the report.
The kidnapped inhabitants of the Dukonsky Monastery, Archimandrite Titus and novice Trofim, have been found, and are now in the Chernivtsi region, weak and exhausted.
“The first Lent week services are not performed in the churches of the UOC. People are afraid to go to church because they may not come back. Everyone is praying at home, in private,” reports the eparchy’s press service on its official Facebook page.
