the city of harke was rocked by multiple assaults on Orthodox Easter Sunday the initial attack left 20 injured and one dead an attack later in the day in the city center injured 15 I thought that at least on this day it would remain calm at 4 in the morning there was also a strike I don’t sleep I don’t sleep at all elsewhere ukrainians marked their third Orthodox Easter since being invaded by Russia in front of 1000y Old St Sophia’s cathedral in Kev president zinsky addressed his fellow ukrainians God has a Chevron with the Ukrainian flag on his shoulder so with such an ally life will definitely win over death with conflict still raging across the country soldiers in an Eastern Town reflect on the holiday prior to the war we miss our families the HW doesn’t feel the same when you’re not at home I want this war to be over as soon as possible go home to my family and celebrate Easter with them or with my comrades but in a different setting in the southwestern city of Odessa the Transfiguration Cathedral damaged in the 20203 missile attack fills with civilians amid the runs of the historic place of worship a congregation celebrates despite fears of another attack I feel anxious of course and I’m so sorry for our Cath cathedral but at the same time I see that it’s been rebuilt thus we hope that we will be going inside we’re waiting for this day there is no difference whether you mark Easter in a big or small Church in a ruined church or in an intact Church what’s most important is that you have peace and calm inside yourself in the country’s capital keave a cathedral and Museum held Orthodox Easter festivities to honor their military the day was marked with Ukrainian folklore letters written for those on the front line and a service to Mark the occasion it’s not the first year Ukraine is facing hard times and his fight against the Russian aggressor the Ukrainian people are going through great suffering because of this but Christ’s Resurrection plants big hopes in our hearts that God won’t leave us without help a United display of faith in the midst of ongoing conflict Amy Mah ABC News
