Quote: "In the first hours after this emergency, we were unable to issue an official statement promptly. The full attention of the staff and the relevant emergency services was focused on urgent measures to protect the sacred items and ensure their safety.
First and foremost, an emergency evacuation was organised for the holy relics and liturgical items, ancient icons, antimensia, and other sacred things that represent not only ecclesiastical but also national and universal human heritage.
