Orthodoxy in the Kherson region[edit]

Already in apostolic times, the holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called preached the gospel in the northern Black Sea region, and soon Christianity began to spread among the inhabitants of the numerous Greek colonies of these lands. Already in the first centuries after the Nativity of Christ, several episcopal sees were founded in Crimea, one of which was the Kherson diocese in ancient Taurian Chersonesos (slav. Korsun), in whose honor the current cathedral city of the Kherson diocese - Kherson - was later named. To the north of the peninsula stretched the lands of the Gothic (around the 6th century moved to the Crimea) and Scythian dioceses. But after the invasion of the Huns in the 4th century, the church life of the ancient dioceses was disrupted and over the centuries these lands changed their lords and population many times, mainly being under the rule of nomadic peoples who did not accept Christ.

Only since the 18th century, when the lands of New Russia and Taurida began to gradually become part of the Russian Empire, Orthodoxy was firmly established in the northern Black Sea region. The influx of new Orthodox settlers into this sparsely populated region accelerated noticeably, and by decree of Empress Catherine II of September 7 (entered the Synod on September 9), 1775, Novorossiya was united into a new Slavic and Kherson diocese with a see in Poltava. In April 1784, the Crimean Khanate, annexed by Russia, was also annexed to it, with which all the lands of the current Kherson diocese became part of the Slavic diocese.

The independent Kherson diocese was established on May 9, 1837, having been separated from Ekaterinoslav (formerly Slavic). The department of the new diocese was located in Odessa, and its jurisdiction extended to the Kherson and Tauride provinces. At the same time, in 1837, the lands between the Bug and the Dniester with the counties of Odessa, Tiraspol and Ananyevsky, which were previously under the jurisdiction of the Chisinau bishops, were assigned to the newly formed diocese.

On November 16, 1859, the Tauride diocese was separated from Kherson, after which only the Kherson province itself remained under the latter’s jurisdiction.

After the outbreak of revolutionary unrest in 1917, as in the entire former Russian Empire, the diocese was persecuted by the atheistic authorities, church life was shaken in every possible way.

In 1921, Hieromartyr Procopius (Titov) was appointed diocesan bishop with the title of Odessa and Kherson, and in June 1925 he was appointed to the new Kherson and Nikolaev See. This separate department also existed between 1944 and 1947, when its department was located in the city of Kherson. However, already in 1947 this diocese was annexed to the Odessa diocese, which again began to be called Kherson, with a see in Odessa. On October 7, 1976, its name changed again to Odessa. The jurisdiction of this department includes Odessa and Kherson regions.

In 1991, with the fall of the atheistic regime and Ukraine gaining independence, when spiritual revival began again here, the Kherson diocese with a see in Kherson, on the territory of the region of the same name, was restored as independent, having been separated from the Odessa diocese.

By the decision of the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church on December 14, 2007, the independent Kakhovka diocese was separated from the Kherson diocese. After this, the cities of Kherson and Novaya Kakhovka and Belozersky, Golopristansky, Kalanchaksky, Skadovsky, Tsyurupinsky, Chaplinsky districts of the Kherson region remained under the jurisdiction of the Kherson department.

Kherson diocese (historical)

The Kherson diocese is an ancient Orthodox diocese of the Patriarchate of Constantinople in Crimea with its center in the city of Kherson. It arose no later than the middle of the 4th century. Abolished in the second half of the 15th century. The Kherson diocese, along with the diocese of Bosporus, is the most ancient diocese of Crimea. The first reliable documentary evidence of its existence dates back to the Second Ecumenical Council in 381, which was signed by Bishop Epherius of Kherson. According to the document, the Kherson diocese, together with Tomi and Anchiala, is listed in the province of Scythia Minor.

Categories by region Religion by region Christianity by region Christianity in Crimea

1. Seven Kherson martyrs

Tradition names earlier dates for the formation of the diocese. According to the “Life of the Bishops of Kherson”, Bishop Vasily was sent by Bishop Hermon of Jerusalem in the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Diocletian, that is, the very end of the 3rd century is called - 299 - 300. However, this date has been called into question. Presumably this was done with the aim of “making ancient” the Kherson see, and linking the death of its first bishop with the time of Diacletian persecution. The Life tells of the expulsion of Saint Basil from the city, of the miracle of the resurrection of the son of the local “first man.” The miracle converts many Chersonites to Christ, but most of the townspeople remain pagans and kill Vasilei. The following preachers arrive in Kherson from the Hellespont, invited by one of the Chersonite Christians. Their names are Eugene, Elpidius and Agathodorus. The Life emphasizes that they too came from Palestine at one time. All three are named bishops, which already raises questions. According to A. Yu. Vinogradov, this is either a mistake: only one of them was a bishop, or the author of the life deliberately brought together three bishops from different times in order to place their names in the text of the life. The circumstances of their death are described similarly to the case of Saint Basil. Perhaps the author of the life knew only the fact of their martyrdom and their names. The next preacher, Bishop Epherius, arrives from Jerusalem after “considerable time.” The life tells of the trip of Saint Etherius to Constantinople to the Emperor Constantine, and that, by order of the emperor, the pagans were expelled from the city by military force, and Christians were settled in their place. It was from this time that Kherson was reassigned to the Archbishop of Constantinople. Epherius died on the way from Constantinople on one of the islands at the mouth of the Dnieper. After the death of Epherius, at the request of the Chersonites, they appointed another bishop, who became Saint Capiton. Kapito arrived in the city accompanied by a detachment of five thousand, which was supposed to protect him and the city from the rampage of the pagans. The pagans were driven outside the city walls. Miracle in the lime kiln, into the flames of which St. entered. Capiton, convinced many pagans to accept baptism. The temple of the Apostle Peter was erected by St. Capito. The coincidence of the names of Bishop Epherius from the “Life” and the Kherson bishop who signed the conciliar act of 381 is noteworthy. V.V. Latyshev suggests that we are talking about two bishops with the same name, who lived at different times. K. Zuckerman suggests that the hagiographic Epherius and Epherius, who signed the conciliar act, are one and the same person. But in this case, we should not be talking about Constantine I, but about Theodosius I. An indirect confirmation of this is that repressive measures against pagans, impossible under Constantine I, become a reality precisely under Theodosius. Moreover, the 12th century Synaxarion of the Church of Constantinople reports the death of Saint Etherius under the Emperor Theodosius. Thus, the episcopal see in Kherson appeared no later than the middle of the 4th century and, probably, was initially under the omophorion of the Bishop of Jerusalem, but under the Bishop of Kherson Etherius and no later than 381 it came under the subordination of the Archbishop of Constantinople.

2. Kherson Archdiocese

Already by the 7th century, the Kherson see was occupied by an archbishop. It is obvious that at this time the diocese also included the region of Dori, inhabited by the Goths: at the end of the 7th century, the bishop of Cherson signed the decrees of the Council of Trullo in 692 as bishop of Cherson of Dorante επίσκοποϛ Χερσώοϛ τήϛ Δόραντοϛ. In the notation of Pseudo-Epiphanius, the Kherson diocese is listed as an autocephalous archdiocese and is in 24th place. It is followed by the Archdiocese of Bosporus. In subsequent notifications, the Kherson diocese always appears to be higher in rank than other Crimean dioceses, occupying from 17 to 25 places. And if other Crimean dioceses in early notifications followed directly after Kherson, and at a later time moved down the list to 3-5 dozen, Kherson continued to maintain its fairly high position. Kherson at this time retains its role as the Christian missionary center of Crimea. It was here that Prince Vladimir was baptized in 988. Under Patriarch Nicholas Mystic, the Kherson archbishop was entrusted with a mission to Khazaria, during which he was supposed to find someone worthy of episcopal consecration and facilitate his arrival in Constantinople for installation. Obviously, the task of the Kherson ruler includes clarifying the state of Christianity in Khazaria and ordaining priests. At the same time, the patriarch asks the strategist of Kherson to assist the archbishop in this difficult matter. Obviously, these difficulties are related to the struggle for priority in Khazaria between Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

3. Kherson Metropolis

At the end of the 13th century, the Kherson See was elevated to a metropolitanate. Its bishop named Theodore participates in the council chaired by Patriarch John Vekko in 1280, already with the title of metropolitan. In the list of metropolitans, he comes before Sugdeisky, which allows us to push back the date of the appearance of the Kherson metropolitanate until 1275. It was a patriarchal stauropegy. Soon, however, he was again led by his bishop. The end of the 14th century was spent in litigation for parishes with the neighboring Gothic and Sugdean dioceses. Kherson Metropolitan Thaddeus claimed his rights to a number of parishes, which he called his ancestral territories. The battle for parishes was affected by the political struggle. And if Patriarch Macarius actively supported the claims of the Kherson ruler, then Patriarch Nil, installed after his overthrow, leaned towards his opponents, however, calling for mercy in relation to the impoverished Kherson see. The Gothic Metropolitan Theodosius showed the mercy sought by the patriarch and made concessions in the dispute. The last known metropolitan of Kherson was installed in 1440. According to A.L. Berthier-Delagarde, this metropolitan was a Uniate and lived not in Kherson, but somewhere in the surrounding villages. After this, with the exception of an incomprehensible mention of the Metropolitan of “Kherson and Erat” in 1626, nothing is known about the Kherson diocese. Apparently it was abolished sometime in the middle of the 15th century.

4. Catholic diocese in Kherson

The penetration of the Northern Black Sea region in the second half of the 13th century and the conversion of Kherson into a Genoese colony leads to an increase in “Latin” influence in the city. On July 16, 1333, in connection with the establishment of the metropolis in Vosporo in Kherson, a Catholic bishop was mentioned, who was a monk of the Dominican Order, Riccardo or Richard of England. Kherson is listed as part of the Vospor Metropolis. From the letter of Pope John XXII it is known that Richard, together with Metropolitan Francis de Camerino of Vosporo, had already proven himself in the field of preaching among Christians and converted the Alans to Catholicism. However, the formation of the Catholic bishopric in Kherson should be attributed to an earlier time: under the act of transferring the region of Constantinople Galata to the Genoese in 1303, there are signatures of Archbishop Vosporo Francis and Bishop of Kherson Richard of England. Thus, there was already a Catholic diocese in Kherson at the beginning of the 14th century. In 1334/1335, he, together with Francis de Camerino as papal legate, participated in the embassy to Constantinople to negotiate the union, where he took part in the dispute about the procession of the Holy Spirit with Barlaam of Calabria. By 1320, a Catholic monastery already existed in Kherson.

5. Temples of Chersonesus

Kherson, the actual capital of a vast region, was the Christian center of Crimea in the early Middle Ages. In terms of the number and wealth of churches, Kherson leaves far behind any city in the region. In total, 13 basilicas, 5 cruciform, 2 centric, 7 cross-domed churches, as well as about 20 chapels were discovered on the territory of the settlement. The most ancient basilicas found date back to the 6th century. It seems that each residential area had its own church, richly decorated with columns, sculptures and reliefs in Proconnesian marble. The walls and floors of the temples were covered with mosaics. All temples are located on the highest and most beautiful places in the city. In contrast to Panticapaeum, which was more “barbaric” in its architecture, Kherson, then the richest city of Crimea, was built up with Christian basilicas in the period from the 4th to the 6th centuries, the architecture of which was clearly influenced by the architecture of Constantinople. However, the influence of Syrian and Asia Minor architecture can be traced. Typically these are three-nave basilicas with two rows of marble columns separating the naves. The walls and floors of the basilicas are decorated with mosaics. But the appearance of the temples does not at all betray the inner beauty and richness of the decoration. These are simple walls made of hewn stone and plinth. The so-called “Uvarov Basilica”, apparently, was the cathedral church of the Kherson diocese and was consecrated in the name of the apostles Peter and Paul.

XVIII century and reunited with the Orthodox Church on the rights of common faith (subordination to the canonical Church while maintaining ritual differences, the abolition of which by Moscow Patriarch Nikon in the 17th century was one of the reasons for the Old Believer schism).

"Stronghold of Kherson region"

This is the most famous public organization (code 40848503), but the general public heard about it only at the end of 2021, when the mayor of Kherson Vladimir Mykolayenko signed a decision to allocate 195 thousand UAH from the local budget to Tverdina.

For a long time, the head of Tverdyn was one of its founders, Ruslan Zakharov. These people are popularly called “jocks”. He is also an assistant to deputy Sergei Belokovylenko from Lyashko’s Radical Party. The minutes of the meeting of the founders of the “Stronghold” indicate that this public formation will be engaged in the protection of public order and, no less, the state border. The charter bears the stamp acting. Chief of the National Police of Kherson, so everything is legal. "Stronghold" has 14 founders, among whom are athletes and public figures.

“The Stronghold” performs many different protective and security functions - for example, it protects the mayor of Kherson from the people and deputies of the City Council. With the help of “Stronghold,” Vladimir Mykolayenko literally fled from the meeting room of the Kherson City Council when, at the “tariff” session in February 2021, he was unable to secure a vote for increasing the fare on minibuses.

“Stronghold” also takes part in disputes between economic entities - for example, farmers, that is, it plays the role of a kind of decision-maker. Or he is engaged in showdowns at the local market. In general, it turned out that it is quite common for Kherson to involve public organizations to carry out functions assigned exclusively to government structures: joint patrols, raids and even arrests of offenders.

Now regarding “protection of the state border”. At one time, Kherson activists carefully studied the pages of the founders of “Strongness” on social networks. Alas, doubts arise on whose side these strong guys will be on if there is a violation of the state border as part of the creation of a land corridor to Crimea. For example, Ruslan Zakharov distinguished himself with “like stories” videos with eloquent captions “Bandera’s geeks are done singing” and “Maidowns! Know your puppeteers! Similar aggressive anti-Ukrainian biases were also revealed in the other co-founders of Tverdyn.

After the scandal raised in the press about this, Ruslan Zakharov wisely faded into the background, and Maxim Gorokh, a participant in the ATO and a participant in combat operations, became the head of the Stronghold. True, local activists claim that, a lawyer by training, Gorokh “takes an active part in organizing illegal trade along the street 200 years of Kherson, where a large spontaneous market operates.”

And it is precisely the help of these strong guys in leather jackets and sometimes balaclavas that the Kherson diocese of the UOC-MP does not hesitate to use. The “Stronghold” accompanies religious processions in this jurisdiction and maintains order inside churches during services. It must be said that in Kherson there are people who like to troll both of them, filming dialogues with security guards on their phones.

And the UOC-MP in Kherson uses athletes from the Kherson regional organization of the Ukrainian Boxing Federation. So, during the visit of Metropolitan Onuphry, head of the UOC-MP, to this glorious city in December 2016, a fight broke out between boxers and activists of the local Maidan, who were picketing near the temple.

On topic: The Moscow Patriarchate is losing Ukraine. Why

“In the courtyard in front of the cathedral, young men of athletic build were waiting for us; they were “titushki.” They immediately told us that if we didn’t remove our posters, they would “put us down.” Then a fight broke out. One guy was punched in the face and grabbed by the neck. There was also a fight with a journalist.” Subsequently, they found out that the role of “titushki” was played not by members of the “Stronghold of the Kherson region”, but by boxing athletes. This is what these modern guardian angels of church peace and order look like.

- Where are you at? Are you in church or on the street? — these inspired citizens kindly ask the activist, and after a few seconds they trample her phone under their feet.

The regional boxing federation itself confirms its participation in the brawl and the fact that its fighters are present at church events. This organization, according to Kherson media, is associated with the head of the Kherson regional council, Vladislav Manger, a big fan of the UOC-MP.

Mr. Manger today represents the Batkivshchyna party, and before it, he was traditionally in the Party of Regions and was even an assistant to the odious separatist People’s Deputy Alexey Zhuravko (though, according to him, only for 12 days and to resolve his issues).

In any case, it is clear that the leadership of both the city council and the regional council will not skimp on protecting the “canonical church” with strong, athletic guys.

Temples[edit]

Holy Spirit Cathedral (Kherson)[edit]

Holy Spiritual Cathedral
The Three-Altar Holy Spiritual Church of the city of Kherson was founded in 1804. The construction of the front part of the church took place in one summer, thanks to a large donation of 15 thousand rubles, but then, due to lack of funds, construction was suspended and only in 1835 the construction of the church was completed.

In godless times, a great misfortune befell the Holy Spiritual Church: in March 1922, church valuables were confiscated from it, and on May 1, 1926, the temple was transferred by the city authorities to the Renovationists, who had it until September 27, 1937. Then everything from the temple was taken away and destroyed.

From 1937 to 1944, no services were held in the temple, and it was used as a flour storage facility.

At the end of 1941, under the refectory part of the Holy Spiritual Church, a temple in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord was equipped, instead of the burned Transfiguration Church, and church services began to be held in it.

In August 1944, the Holy Spiritual Church, which was in a very poor condition, was returned to the believers, who began its restoration.

In 1930 the cathedral was closed. A small part of the icons was taken to the Kherson Museum of Local Lore, and the iconostasis painted by V.L. Borovikovsky and the decoration of the church were lost. An anti-religious museum was opened in the temple. Potemkin's grave has been opened several times. According to the writer B. Lavrenev, in the 1930s. at one time Potemkin’s skull was exhibited as an exhibit of an anti-religious museum; then returned to the crypt.

In 1942, at the beginning of the German occupation, the cathedral was consecrated and services resumed.

In 1962, in the wake of a new anti-religious struggle, the cathedral was closed again. The building was used for storing firewood, and later as a warehouse for the regional bookstore.

In 1970, the House of Propaganda of the Society for the Protection of Monuments was opened in the cathedral building. In the early 1980s, the bell tower was restored according to old drawings. In 1989, the cathedral building was closed due to emergency conditions.

The relics of nun Eutropia (Isaenkova) were found in the Kherson diocese

Kherson, November 17, 2009

On November 12, 2009, with the blessing of His Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir of Kyiv and All Ukraine, the holy relics of the ascetic of piety of the Kherson region, nun Eutropia (Isaenkova), were found.

In the Holy Spiritual Cathedral of Kherson, a prayer service was served before the start of any good deed, which was led by Archbishop John of Kherson and Tauride. Then a funeral lithium was served at the grave of nun Eutropia (Kindi Cemetery).

After being found, the relics were transported to the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Kindiyka, where the mother carried out choir obedience for many years. Here a funeral litany was served for her, after which the holy relics were taken to the Holy Spirit Cathedral.

LIFE OF A NUN OF EUTROPIA

On the land of Tauride, the ascetic of piety, the nun of the Assumption Aleshkovsky Monastery, nun Eutropia, is honored by the people of God as a prayer book for the land of Kherson.

Little is known about her early years. People who knew Mother Eutropia closely say that she was born in 1863 on November 24, old style (December 7, new style). Since she was born on the feast of the Holy Great Martyr Catherine, her parents named her in honor of this saint. The place of birth was the village of Belaya Krinitsa, Kherson province, and the parents' names were Leonty and Agathia.

By the providence of God, at the age of 12 she was taken into care by the female monastic community in Aleshkovskaya Sloboda, Tauride province. Growing up in a community of sisters, Catherine learned literacy and handicrafts. At the same time, learning to pray and read the Word of God, a love for which she carried throughout her life.

Catherine found herself in the community of sisters during the most difficult period for the community. The head of the community, the ryassophore nun Elizaveta (Nesterenkova), and her sisters Maria and Elena literally fought for the creation of a monastic monastery. How much grief, sorrow, and temptation the sisters of the community had to endure—the chronicle of the Assumption Aleshkovsky Monastery can tell about all this. Catherine herself had the chance to become a living witness and participant in this story.

Sorrows from the world and fervent prayer spiritually strengthened Catherine. According to the words of the Apostle Paul: “We also glory in tribulations, knowing that from tribulation comes patience, and from patience comes experience, and from experience hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Rom. 5: 3-5). Following this path, Catherine decided to devote her life to God in monastic service.

When, by God's grace, the period of sorrows and troubles for the sisters passed, and the community received the status of the Assumption Monastery, Catherine took monastic vows with the name Eutropius, in honor of St. Martyr of Alexandria (October 30/November 12). Her monastic obedience was reading and singing in the choir. In life, she was distinguished by special modesty and kindness.

Mother Eutropia witnessed the flourishing of the Aleshkovo Monastery. Magnificent churches and monastery buildings were built, and a school for orphans was created in the monastery. At the same time, Mother Eutropia became an eyewitness to the first miracles at the Fedorov Icon of the Mother of God. She carried the grateful memory of the miracles and healings through which God’s mercy poured out to the Christian race throughout her entire life.

But the heyday of the monastery did not last long. Terrible hard times have arrived. Revolution, civil war, famine, devastation, and the worst thing - godless government. The monastery was abolished, churches were closed, and the nuns were dispersed. Mother, like many other nuns of the monastery, leaves for Kherson. There she settles in the area of Kindiyskiye farms near the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin. This place was not chosen casually. Beyond the Dnieper were Mother’s beloved Alyoshki, who by that time had been renamed Tsyurupinsk.

At this time, Mother Eutropia earned her bread by sewing blankets. She constantly went to the temple, where other nuns of the Aleshkovsky Monastery also prayed. In 1938, the temple was closed, after which the nuns gathered in a private house. The sisters cared for each other and supported each other in any way they could.

The war has begun. The Germans and Romanians, having entered Kherson, began to open churches. So in 1941 the Kindia Church was opened. Mother moved to live closer to the temple, in the house where the nuns Olympias and Palestine had previously lived. Since then, mother worked at the temple. While she had the strength, she sang and read in the choir. When I became weak, I sat on a bench near the choir and prayed. She never missed a service.

The house near the church in which mother settled was located at 22 Pionerskaya Street. She lived in a small temporary shelter. The dwelling was simple, a tarred hut - one room and a corridor. Many people always came to see my mother. From God she had a special gift of insight. But it was not only this that attracted people to her, but the power of the prayer that mother offered for those in need of God’s help. Many people knew about the power of her prayer, so visitors came not only from Kherson, but also from Nikolaev, Pervomaisk, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and other places. The yard was always full of people.

Mother received everyone in her room, sitting on a small bench near her bed. But no one ever saw mother lying on the bed, even if she was sick. According to eyewitnesses, there was always a little chick lying next to her. When mother was tired, she would put the chick on the bed, and sitting on the bench, she would lay her head on the chick. He rests a little and then stays awake.

One visitor, being a doctor, asked her mother: “When do you sleep?” She answered: “Are they sleeping?”

Spiritual children testified that mother wore chains on her feet. She always had the Holy Gospel in her hands, which she constantly read.

Mother often communicated with the novice Domnika, now glorified by the Church as a saint. Sometimes she was asked: “Do you often see novice Domnika?” To which she replied: “We don’t see each other that often, but we often communicate spiritually.” They prayed for each other.

Sometimes she sent her children to Father Joseph (St. Amphilochius of Pochaev), with whom she also communicated. This communication was connected with the fact that she was miraculously given the Pachaevskaya Icon of the Mother of God. Subsequently, her former novice Schema-nun Angelina gave this icon to the Holy Spirit Cathedral, where the icon remains to this day.

About her novice Anna mentioned here (who later took the name Angelina in her tonsure), Mother Eutropia often said to her spiritual children: “She will be greater than me,” prophetically predicting that Anna would take monastic tonsure and schema, and become the spiritual successor of Mother Eutropia.

The confessor of the faith, Archbishop John (Lavrinenko), who was retired in Kherson, also communicated with Mother Eutropia.

According to the testimony of her spiritual children, mother had special boldness to pray for the repose of the deceased who, due to the closure of churches and an insufficient number of clergy, were not buried in the Orthodox rite, or for whom there was no one to pray. The Lord miraculously revealed their names to her. It happened that an empty piece of paper lying on the table by the bed was filled with names written on it in the morning.

It was amazing that Mother Eutropia could know the names of those who would come to her and their needs. As already mentioned, mother always had many visitors. They brought her gifts. But she was used to being content with prosphora and holy water. Therefore, she distributed offerings to the poor, the poor, or to people who gave her shelter.

Many wonderful events were associated with the name of mother. When she began to fade due to illness, her spiritual children asked her: to whom will they now come for help? And she answered them that they would be able to come to her grave as if she were alive. And that if she has gained boldness before God, she will help them. She predicted her demise while saying goodbye to those she knew.

Mother Eutropia often received the Holy Mysteries of Christ. Before her death, she began this saving Sacrament especially often. The rector of the Nativity of the Theotokos Church in Kindiyka, Archpriest John Gasyuk, who lived next door, gave her communion.

Nun Eutropia reposed in the Lord on March 29, 1968, at the age of 105. Mother's funeral was held in the Kindia Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a huge crowd of worshipers. Mother was buried at the Kindii cemetery.

In many synodics of Orthodox Kherson residents the name of the nun Eutropia is recorded. The memory of her as a prayer book is passed on from generation to generation. And at her grave, many received grace-filled help and healing.
