"What I want to say: is it noticeable from them that they are relatives of fallen soldiers? Father Vasyl asks us quietly. - You would have seen them first, what they were. Very sad. And now they are already alive. And it pleases. They rejoice, smilу. It is very important. It's worth a lot."
A fairly large church is hidden behind a carved wooden door. Several dozen parishioners pray together with the priest. At first glance, it is an ordinary service. But all these people are united by the fact that they lost relatives in the war. For 10 years, relatives of the victims have gathered here every last Saturday of the month.
After the service, Father Vasyl takes off his cassock and goes to the people.
"I'm so glad you came. If I could, I would hug everyone at once," he says sincerely and still starts to hug one by one. How to live with the loss of a loved one? See in the material hromadske.
