Miracle of Maidan -- The Day Peace Conquered Bloodshed in Kiev

November 2013 to February 2014

Protests

– and in response, torture

Monday Feb 17

to Wednesday Feb 19

Crackdown sharpens

Thursday, February 20

Government snipers murder

60 people

…things are about to explode

…things are about to explode

• President fires the head of police – apparently too soft

• Protesters prepare for a battle

…and…before dawn…

Before dawn there was

A coup:

The sounds of the Easter song:

“Christ has risen”

“Christ has risen from the dead …”

“Trampling over death by death”

“And upon those in the grave…

“…bestowing life”

And the people

– on both sides –

stepped back from fear.

The people came together.

The powers saw that fear had died.

That is a genuine coup.

Few noticed that this

Was the key moment.

The kingdom of heaven is like yeast

…it is unseen, but it changes everything.

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

Now what?

It is spreading all over.

Ukrainian citizens are standing. For peace.

March 1, 2014. In

Balaklava(Sevasto

pol) residents

formed a human

shield and stood

between

presumed Russian

soldiers and

Ukrainian border-

control troops

during a Russian

attempted

seizure.

02.03.2014г. Russian special forces tried to seize weapons from the

191st cadet brigade

After finding their truck blocked by apparently unarmed

Ukrainian officers, some of the Russians said, “Forgive us, we don’t

want war, but we got an order.”
