ROC Patriarch Kirill fell during a liturgy in Novorossiysk

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, fell during a liturgy in a church in Novorossiysk. 

 

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church was moving toward the exit while the congregation was singing "Lord, have mercy" with the cross in his hands, but he slipped on the tiles and could not keep his balance. 

 

The acolytes did not have time to give the Moscow patriarch a hand, and he fell together with the cross.

 

The incident was caught in the records of the liturgy.
