Pilgrims See Cross in Sky at End of International Cross Procession in Ukraine
Pravoslavie ^ | 8/4/17

A 5-day international cross procession to the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra in Western Ukraine ended on August 3, with the Pochaev Mother of God Icon to be celebrated on Saturday, August 5. Pilgrims report that upon the entrance to the lavra, at the end of the trek, they saw a cross in the sky, reports the Union of Orthodox Journalists.

A similar phenomenon took place on May 19, when believers gathered outside the Verkhnova Rada in Kiev to protest two religious bills that were to be considered by the Ukrainian parliament. A cross was seen in the sky, and a crucifix brought to the rally began to stream myrrh.

The traditional procession began in Poland and went through Belarus and Ukraine, meeting up with processions beginning from various dioceses along the way. 1,600 pilgrims from Poland, Hungary, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, and other countries took part in the holy walk. The cross was captured in a photo by Fr. Vladimir Kovtach.

That’s a stretch to say that’s the Cross.

Need to “stretch” one leg. Otherwise it’s a plus sign.
