The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall visited the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in London to show their support to the Ukrainian community. During the visit, the Prince and the Duchess met with leaders of the Ukrainian community and volunteers helping the humanitarian efforts. At the altar inside the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, the Prince and the Duchess lit a candle and laid sunflowers, the national flower of Ukraine.
Kudos to them.
ReplyDeleteLovely, meaningful gesture.
No need to add anything else.
Did not know there was an Ukranian Catholic church in London. According the way the priests are dressed and the view of the inside of the cathedral as well as the presentation of the bread seems more like Russian Orthodox Religion. Sorry if I make a mistake, but it seems that way.
ReplyDeleteOrthodox churches are also called Greek Catholic or Eastern Catholic Churches.
Delete-B.
Thank you B. In the meantime looked it up via Google on the internet. I understand the subject better now.
DeleteBelles images de cette cathédrale catholique qui ont permis entre-autres de voir que le tournesol était la fleur nationale de l'Ukraine ; on en apprend tous les jours surtout par les temps qui courent !
ReplyDeleteSauf que c'est une cathédrale orthodoxe.
DeleteC'était ce que je pensais aussi !
DeleteA beautiful gesture. ~d
ReplyDeleteA wonderful, united, sincere gesture, with the beautiful sunflower, very moving. Enough said xxx
ReplyDeleteAlso not a great deal to be said about fashion.
DeleteBriefly, Camilla seems to be wearing a "re-wear" with of course, her faithful boots. In the last photo Prince Charles is using his pockets for his hands.
As @ ~d said, "a beautiful gesture". I agree with her comment.
Οι Ορθόδοξες εκκλησίες δεν ονομάζονται Καθολικές στην Αγγλία. Αυτές οι Εκκλησίες είναι Ουνίτικες και ντύνονται με ράσα ορθόδοξα οι παπάδες .
ReplyDeleteΑυτές οι Εκκλησίες είναι Ουνίτικες- Καθολικές κ' οι παπάδες ντύνονται με Ορθόδοξα ράσα για να επηρεάσουν τον Κόσμο να ασπασθούν τον Καθολικισμό. Στην Αγγλία τις ορθόδοξες εκκλησίες μας τις ονομάζουν Greek Orthodox.
ReplyDeleteΟυνίτικες Καθολικές Εκκλησίες είναι. Προσπαθούν να ξεγελάσουν τον Κόσμο φορώντας οι Καθολικοί παπάδες ορθόδοξα ράσα κ' έχουν οι εκκλησίες τους ορθόδοξες εικόνες για να ασπαστούν τον Καθολικισμό. Ντροπή τους!Οι ορθόδοξες εκκλησίες λέγονται Orthodoxy Churches in Great Britain. Εμείς είμαστε Ορθόδοξοι Χριστιανοί.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I'm surprised that their RH's chose this church and not an actual Ukrainian Orthodox church. This church doesn't belong to an "Ecclesiastical Province" like you and I are used to. Sounds like the church is "not in communion (heterodox?)" with the Orthodox church at large. It's an unfortunate choice. With PC's involvement with the Greek Orthodox Church now and his family's history one would think they wouldn't have made that mistake...
DeleteGlad to see this gesture of support from the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, ~d and Annie M.
ReplyDeleteThis is the hardest and darkest hour for Europe.
Prayers and concrete support for refugees, let's stay united and ready to give them anything they need, please.
Thank you.
I agree but than the British must allow the refugees, who are exhausted, to take the boat in Calais to the U.K. and not sending them back to Paris or Brussels. When Europe has decided to give free passages to the refugees the U.K. asks documents like international visa and passports.
