The monument reads: "To His Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir of Kyiv and All Ukraine for his love from grateful brethren and pilgrims of the Sviatogorsk Lavra and from all Donbass residents."

"The Triumph of Orthodoxy in Donbass", this is how the celebrations on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Donetsk diocese were commented on Facebook.

As the UOJ previously reported, His Beatitude led the festivities in Sviatogorsk to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Donetsk Eparchy.
