In the current environment, the military is forced to meet the holidays not with their loved ones, but in the service and in the circle of brothers. Therefore, the capeclans were serving in the field. According to the new calendar on August 6, the believers celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, or Apple Spas. It is one of the 12 most important holidays in the church calendar. The Ukrainian military showed how, protecting the country from Russian invaders, spent this day.

"This holiday is set in memory of the Gospel event, when the three apostles saw Jesus Christ in all His divine grandeur. This event is a symbol of strengthening faith in the trials," the military said, wishing their faith in God and victory.
