A Belgorod priest taught pupils of a monastery Sunday school to make bird feederstranslated

Prikhody.ru 11/13/2026. A master class on carpentry for children and teenagers was held at the Sunday school of the Borisov Mother of God-Tikhvin convent. The lesson for the students was conducted by priest Evgeniy Karmishin.

The initiative was dictated by the need to involve young men in useful creative activities, since there are significantly more boys in Sunday school than girls. On the eve of “Titmouse Day,” when the Church and all caring people pay special attention to caring for wintering birds, the students, under the guidance of the priest, made four strong wooden feeders with their own hands. The students mastered a drill and a screwdriver and learned how to sand and adjust wooden parts. Then the young men helped their younger comrades paint the finished products.

According to Father Eugene, such classes have not only an applied, but also a deep educational meaning, since working with hands teaches patience and responsibility, and the soul-searching conversations that the priest had with the children in the process of work helped to talk about the Christian attitude towards nature and mercy towards God’s creation.

The finished products will be transferred to the Belogorye State Nature Reserve.…
