On Monday, February 3, 2020, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine celebrates the first anniversary of the enthronement of Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kyiv and all Ukraine. "Today we are celebrating a momentous event for Ukrainian Orthodoxy - the first anniversary of the enthronement of His Beatitude Epifaniy, Metropolitan of Kyiv and all Ukraine," reads an official statement from the OCU's press service.

The Bishop of the Synod of Bishops of the UGCC, Bohdan Dziurakh, took part in the celebration. During his personal meeting, he thanked the Head of the OCU Metropolitan Epifaniy for the bilateral cooperation developed by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
