 Members of Los Angeles' Ukrainian community have celebrated Orthodox Easter at midnight mass on Sunday as war reached in their home country. Hundreds turned out for the ceremony at the Ukrainian Cathedral of St. Volodymyr. Father Vasil Sokheir, who has led the church since 2003, led the mass. He said the loss is heavy on the hearts and minds of parishioners. St. Volodymyr was established in the 1920s and was the first Ukrainian church in California. Construction was completed in 1962. I think everyone that considered themselves or were born in Ukraine, they are devastated of what is going on there. Devastated by the loss of life, the loss of goods, the loss of many things, the loss of love of the homes sometimes, the loss of dreams, the loss of children, elderly people that cannot move. It's so unfortunate and so sad that we have to go. Please do subscribe to our YouTube channel and don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates.
