After this, the leaders of UAF and Zakarpattya visited children who had been displaced. They were warmly welcomed at the base of FC "Munkacheve". "Young football players dreamed of a festive Easter atmosphere that they used to celebrate in their family homes. Together with Bishop Varsonofiy of Uzhhorod and Zakarpattya, we tried to create such a holiday atmosphere for them. The bishop blessed sweet Easter eggs for the youth and blessed the boys for good fortune. Holy water on Easter has special miraculous power. I believe this! May it heal Ukraine's wounds, and may God protect all Ukrainian children, every city, every family, and grant peace!" — Andriy Pavelko wished during his meeting with the children.
