Good pictures of the Maidan Chapel / Prayer Tent here:

There are also a few good pics from inside of St. '@.

Unfortunately, it’s labor intensive to post pictures using my phone, so a link will have to do.

Thank you both for the links and the pictures. Praying for the Ukraine.

These pictures truly show how influential priests can be. I am sure their presence put an end to violence that would have taken place.

Question: Are these Ukrainian Catholic or Orthodox priests? Or Both? I saw the head lines label them as Orthodox but the news can be ignorant.

There are both Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox priests in the protest. The picture the OP posted is actually composed of both.
