A priest barricaded himself in a church with children in defense of the Orthodox faith

A priest of the Moldavian Metropolia barricaded himself in the church with his children to prevent the transfer of the parish of the Bessarabian Metropolia to the Romanian Orthodox Church. This was announced on February 2 by journalist Vasily Moiseenko, showing the situation in the temple in the village of Dereneu, Kalarashsky district.

"Serious passions have been simmering around the local temple for a week now. The fact is that the Ministry of Culture leased the church to the Bessarabian Metropolia of the Romanian Orthodox Church free of charge," Moiseenko explained.

The rector of the church, Father Alexander, noted that he fights for the protection of faith and parishioners.

"I feel very sorry for my parishioners, who are sitting there now and freezing. They are also like martyrs, defending our Orthodox faith," said the priest.
