For some affected by this war, religion has become a sanctuary, and the collective hope is that this holiday will be the beginning of more promising and peaceful days ahead. Worshipers gather at the Saints Peter and Paul Church in Lviv, Ukraine, on April 18, 2022. Now, it has the status of a military church, as Greek-Catholic military chaplains serve there, and it's closely connected to the Ukrainian armed forces. This week the Orthodox Easter is celebrated in Ukraine until Sunday the 24th. After the attacks on Lviv this morning, people have flocked to the city's churches to pray and honor the deceased soldiers. The religious works of the interior are protected and covered by fears of possible destructive bombardments. The crucifix was so valuable that the Soviet authorities tried to take it to St. Petersburg's Hermitage. However, thanks to caring people, the shrine was left in the Lviv church.
