Since the very morning, queues of believers who have come to consecrate Easter baskets can be observed near the churches in Mykolaiv, reports the correspondent of NikVesti.
In particular, hundreds of people were waiting for a religious ceremony near the Cathedral of the Kashperiv Icon of the Mother of God.
During the resurrection service, the townspeople also remembered the soldiers who are currently on the front lines defending Ukraine. Paskas were specially consecrated for them, which later should be sent to the military.
