On September 22, at the meeting arrived around 300-350 faithful of the UAOC-C and the guests from the Colombian Ministry, who were among the parishioners during 6 hours of the solemn ceremony.
At first, the orchestra of 70 musicians greeted Patriarch Moses with solemn march.
Metropolitan Daniel awarded spiritual decorations to Bishop Andrei, Hegumeness Liz and Patriarch Moses.
Patriarch Moses held the spiritual lectures and prayed for the healing and the revelations from God for the present. Then the slide-show and the films about the initiation of the Orthodox Church in Colombia were displayed.
Metropolitan Daniel, Bishop Andrei and Hegumenes Liz addressed to the faithful with request to gather signatures for support of Mother Church in Ukraine, to protect it against discrimination and extermination and slanderous persecution of its Primate - Patriarch Moses.
Then all the faithful praying laid hands on Moses, in order to God strengthen and defend His Church and His Patriarch in Ukraine.
The Orthodox community in Colombia also suffered much, for what has received the gifts of prophecy to hear with heart and follow spiritually and precisely God and His emissaries and apostles on the earth.
At the end was meal and fireworks. Also Patriarch gave a master class in liturgics and singing to the clergy. They make farewells as the sincere Divine Christ's family. In joy and God's love.
