The OCU Pilgrimage Center is selling stones, bricks, and so-called “keys from Mount Athos” to fund the construction of a “Ukrainian monastic center on the Holy Mount Athos for the spiritual and psychological rehabilitation of Ukrainian Armed Forces veterans.”
Patrons are offered the chance to buy bricks priced from €1,000 to €50,000, a “great spiritual key of peace” – one that, according to the organizers, both Dumenko and Zelensky possess – to plant a tree for €8,000, or to purchase a “unique set of three keys symbolizing the Trinity.”
However, the OCU does not specify what locks these keys are meant for or what connection they actually have to the Holy Trinity.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Athonite monks had protested Dumenko’s visit to Mount Athos.
