The protest follows the news that Ireland has been named on an official Russian government list of countries it deems "unfriendly" to Russia.
The countries and regions are highlighted for either imposing or endorsing sanctions levelled against Russia following its military invasion of Ukraine in February.
This, however, isn't the first holy intervention outside the Russian Embassy in recent days.
Last Friday (4 March), Father Fergal McDonagh rang into LiveLine to talk to presenter Joe Duffy as he threw red paint at the gates of the embassy.
"I'm actually outside the gates of the Russian Embassy in Orwell Road in Dublin," Father McDonagh said.
"I'm about to throw paint at it.
"I won't be the first and I won't be the last."
A clearly surprised Duffy responded: "You're about to what?"
MacDonagh replied he was about to throw "nice red paint" at the gates of the embassy.
He said he had a big coat on and that a tin of paint was in his pocket.
"I'll get more and more nervous, right, so I'm going to do it now. I'm trying to not spill it," the priest told Duffy.
The impact the collision will have on demand for communion wafers across Ireland is not yet known.
