The event caused a wave of outrage among Christians because of the use of religious symbols in the show.<\/p>\n<h2>Presentation of the track \u00abIcon\u00bb in Kyiv<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ivan Lyulenov<\/strong> presented the song \u00abIcon\u00bb in a Kyiv bar. During the performance, the artist appeared dressed as a priest, and icons with his image became part of the performance.<\/p>\n<p>The organisers of the show used the icons as props: they put them in drinks and even put them in their mouths. These actions caused outrage among the religious community and guests of the event.<\/p>\n<h2>Reaction of the religious community<\/h2>\n<p>Priest <strong>Vasyl Kinakh<\/strong> strongly condemned the incident, saying: \u00abEvery priest was spat in the face\u00bb. He called on society not to ignore the incident and to draw attention to the inadmissibility of such actions.<\/p>\n<p>Negative comments are spreading on social media. Many users believe that the show offended the religious feelings of believers.<\/p>\n<h2>Lyulenov's explanation<\/h2>\n<p>Ivan Lyulenov responded to the criticism, saying that he did not intend to offend believers. According to him, the word \u00abicon\u00bb in the track is used as a metaphor for beauty, not a religious symbol.<\/p>\n<p>The singer stressed that he respects religious feelings and is ready for a dialogue with those who were affected by the presentation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041c\u043e\u043b\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0430\u0440\u0442\u0438\u0441\u0442 \u0406\u0432\u0430\u043d \u041b\u044e\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043e\u0432 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432 \u0444\u0456\u0433\u0443\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0442\u043e\u043c \u0440\u0435\u043b\u0456\u0433\u0456\u0439\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0441\u043a\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0430\u043b\u0443 \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0457 \u0441\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0442\u0440\u0435\u043a\u0443 \u00ab\u0406\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0430\u00bb \u0443 \u041a\u0438\u0454\u0432\u0456. \u0417\u0430\u0445\u0456\u0434 \u0432\u0438\u043a\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0432 \u0445\u0432\u0438\u043b\u044e \u043e\u0431\u0443\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0441\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434 \u0445\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0438\u044f\u043d \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u0432\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0440\u0435\u043b\u0456\u0433\u0456\u0439\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0441\u0438\u043c\u0432\u043e\u043b\u0456\u043a\u0438 \u0443 \u0448\u043e\u0443. \u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044f \u0442\u0440\u0435\u043a\u0443 \u00ab\u0406\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0430\u00bb \u0443 \u041a\u0438\u0454\u0432\u0456 \u0406\u0432\u0430\u043d \u041b\u044e\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043e\u0432 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0432 \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043d\u044e \u00ab\u0406\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0430\u00bb \u0443 \u043a\u0438\u0457\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0431\u0430\u0440\u0456. \u041f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u0432\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u0443 \u0430\u0440\u0442\u0438\u0441\u0442 \u0437\u2019\u044f\u0432\u0438\u0432\u0441\u044f \u0443 \u043a\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044e\u043c\u0456 \u0441\u0432\u044f\u0449\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430, \u0430 \u0456\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0437 \u0439\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f\u043c \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u0438 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433355,"featured_media":16981,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_title":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0456\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0430","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[806797],"tags":[806796],"class_list":{"0":"post-16982","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-show-biz","8":"tag-806796"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16982"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16983,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16982\/revisions\/16983"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
