Isaakiy

Bishop Isaakiy, the abbot of the Holy Protection Monastery in Holosiiv, gained notoriety for his involvement in the exhumation and reburial of the relics of Mother Alipiya, a controversial figure in Ukrainian Orthodoxy. His leadership in the monastery has been marked by both religious devotion and controversy, particularly regarding the alleged practices and teachings within the monastery. The discovery of a clandestine school teaching outdated Soviet-era curricula further brought attention to his leadership and the monastery's activities, raising questions about the influence of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine.
