Where to watch the Easter service: online broadcasts

This is the third Easter that Ukrainians will celebrate in the midst of a full-scale war that the aggressor country Russia has unleashed against our country. Therefore, not all believers have the opportunity to attend the service. Instead, you can take part in it online.

This year, the bright holiday of the Resurrection fell on May 5. The Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) have already decided on the time of the Easter liturgies. Their online broadcasts will also be available.

The Orthodox Church of Ukraine holds services at St. Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral in Kyiv throughout Holy Week.

Metropolitan Epiphanius will begin the Easter service at 23:00 on May 4, which will last until about 4:00 on Sunday, May 5.

The following services will also be held on Sunday:

09:00 - Late Liturgy;

17:00 - Easter Vespers.

Easter cakes will be blessed at St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery:

May 4 - from 16:00 to 23:00;

May 5 - from 6:00 to 15:00.

Everyone can watch the online broadcast of the services.

This can be done on the Youtube channel and Facebook page of the OCU, as well as on the personal page of Metropolitan Epiphanius.

The broadcast will also take place on television and radio:
