Ukrainian families in the Bay Area came to Saint Michael Ukrainian Orthodox Church on Sunday to spend part of the holiday weekend to pray for the safety of their family and friends in that war zone and an end to the conflict.
SAN FRANCISCO — Ukrainian families in the Bay Area came to Saint Michael Ukrainian Orthodox Church in San Francisco on Sunday to spend part of the holiday weekend to pray for the safety of their family and friends in that war zone and an end to the conflict.
On the same day that many countries in the western world celebrate Easter, Ukraine marked Palm Sunday in its calendar. It is also called Willow Sunday and includes the tradition of receiving pussy-willow branches blessed at the church. “Every Ukrainian is just the same as every American. We love freedom. We support democracy,” said Yuliya Voskobiynyk, a San Francisco resident. “We are one with the democratic and free world and we need the support of the free and democratic world.”
“People who just like you and I were paying the bills, working their jobs — now their world has been turned upside down,” he told KPIX on Sunday.
