Ukrainian troops have discovered a 1908 edition of the Bible in Donetsk Oblast, near the settlement of Siversk. The sacred text was hidden within the walls of a house that had been destroyed during Russian attacks.
Source: Ukraine’s Centre for Strategic Communications
Details: The Centre noted that the ancient book was discovered in 2023 by soldiers from the Fourth Linear Battalion of the Presidential Brigade of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. The Bible was hidden in the wall of a house. The military assumed that the last owners of the house might not have known about the existence of the relic.
The book was handed over to Ukraine’s military chaplains service. If the owners of the Bible are not found, it will be transferred to a museum.
