On December 24, 2024, a Divine Liturgy was held at the St. Panteleimon Convent in Feofaniya ahead of the final Holy Synod meeting of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) for the year. The service was conducted in the Church of All Saints at the residence of His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine, according to the UOC's press service.

The liturgy was led by Metropolitan Sergiy of Ternopil and Kremenets, a permanent member of the Holy Synod, accompanied by other UOC bishops.

During the fervent supplication, prayers were offered for peace in Ukraine, for the protection and strengthening of the authorities and the military, for God's mercy upon those who have lost their homes, and for blessings upon those assisting those in need.

Following the liturgy, the final Holy Synod meeting of 2024 will begin. The Primate and bishops are expected to address matters related to church life and review the outcomes of the past year.

As reported by the UOJ, the previous Holy Synod meeting of the UOC took place on October 23, 2024, at the UOC Primate's residence.
