This time, for the first time, the Liturgy was sung in two choirs - an adult choir and a children's choir "Luchik" alternately. Young prayer books followed the service with trepidation, one of them read the Apostle for the first time. The Eucharistic canon was also performed by a children's choir.

All the guys on this day began the Sacraments of Confession and Communion..

During the service, the guys read the hours, the boys carried out obedience in the altar, the girls and kids - near the candlesticks.

After the Liturgy, the rector of the cathedral, Archpriest Anatoly Rezanovich, thanked the teachers for preparing their little charges for the Liturgy, presented the first-graders with small gifts and invited everyone present to a tea party with sweet treats.

With particular joy, the young singers shared their impressions of their first independently performed liturgy on this day.
