The article identifies the main trends in covering the solemnities on the occasion of the transfer of the relics of St. Theodore (Theodosius, Prince of Ostroh) and St. Juliania Holshanska (princess from Dubrovytisa) in the pages of the «Volyn Eparchial Herald» – the principal Orthodox publication of the eparchy and province. It was established that, the publications about the solemn celebrations marking the transfer of relics of St. Theodosius of Ostroh and St. Juliania of Holshany from the Kyiv Caves Lavra to towns and villages in Volyn in the «Volyn Eparchial Herald» encompassed several key aspects. The authors opted for a lofty, solemn tone of narration, using emotive, emotionally charged language, and employing
numerous epithets to underscore the grandeur, magnificence, and spiritual significance of these ceremonies. They emphasized the scale and unity of the celebrations, highlighting the large number of participants from various segments of the population and ethnic groups, symbolizing the unity of Orthodox believers around the relics. The organization of events and the role of clergy and church brotherhoods were highly praised. The celebrations were viewed not only as religious events but also as affirmations of Orthodoxy and Russian statehood in the western lands. Therefore, these publications served as a means of popularizing Orthodox relics, consolidating believers around the Orthodox Church, and strengthening its political and ideological positions in Volyn during the corresponding historical period. Such perspectives for further research can be outlined: in-depth study of the role of relic transfers of saints in shaping local religious identity and strengthening the position of Orthodoxy in Volyn during this period; analysis of the impact of the described solemnities on interfaith relations in the Volyn Eparchy and their perception among representatives of other confessions; comparison of relic transfer solemnities with similar events in other regions or dioceses; examination of the perception of such solemnities among the local population through memoirs.
