The folk vocal ensemble "Cossack Song" from Tara, which arrived in Yekaterinburg to participate in the International Festival "Royal Days", made a pilgrimage to the monastery of the Holy Royal Passion-Bearers in the Ganina Yama tract.

The team attended the service, venerated the monastery’s shrines and learned about the history of the place where the remains of the last Russian emperor and his family were found.

The trip took place with the blessing of Bishop Vikenty of Tara and Tyukalinsk. For the team, visiting Ganina Yama became an important spiritual event in their creative mission in the Urals.

It is good that the "Cossack Song" ensemble from Tara not only performed at the festival, but also went to Ganina Yama to pray and learn the history. An example of how to combine singing and pilgrimage. Thank you for such a blessing from Bishop Vikenty.

Yes, Irina, it's good that they didn't limit themselves only to the stage, but also went to pray on the spot. Here in Lviv, we also often sing in church, and then we go to prayer - it's a completely different feeling. Have you been to Ganina Yama yourself?
