In the Ukrainian village of „In May 1943, the ceremony of accepting bread loaves was held in the church. Three wreaths, three loaves and three candles brought from another Ukrainian village were placed on the altar, and the Orthodox priest read a letter encouraging the murder of Poles. The letter announced that red rivers would flow and there would be lakes of Polish blood. First, there was sharing of bread, eating it would provide salvation. The remaining crumbs were swept up and added to the dough from which nine new loaves were baked, then nine new wreaths were wrapped and nine new candles were added. After being consecrated by an Orthodox clergyman during the next service, the delegations carried it to the next church villages. The same text” was attached to the loaves.
