Military chaplain Andrii Kopchak, 43, prays on the relics of saints inside the church of the Skete of Prophet Elijah in Mount Athos, Greece, November 26, 2024. In their four-day stay, part of a psychological support programme organised by Ukrainian authorities, the 22 soldiers made a pilgrimage to some dozen monasteries on the slopes of Mount Athos, a spiritual centre since the 10th century. "A lot of servicemen suffer from the events that took place over the last three years. A lot of them suffer from different illnesses – they are wounded, and we have to rehabilitate them," said Father Mykhailo Pasirskyi, a Ukrainian Orthodox priest. REUTERS/Alexandros Avramidis
