The city has released the schedule of Easter services in the main churches of Lviv, which will take place without night liturgies due to current security restrictions. This was reported by the Lviv City Council.
Festive liturgies in the city's churches will conclude by midnight on Saturday, April 11, and resume on Sunday after 05:00.
"Wartime conditions are somewhat changing our traditional forms of celebrating Easter. As in previous years, given that a curfew is in effect in the city, there will be no night services. All of them will conclude before the curfew on Saturday evening and begin after the end of the curfew on Sunday after five o'clock in the morning", — the report says.
