On November 12, cleric of the Church of the Konevskaya Icon of the Mother of God, Deacon Andrey Solovyov, held a meeting with students of the Shumilovsky school in the village of Sapernoye. The lesson was timed to coincide with the national holiday - National Unity Day.

In a warm and trusting atmosphere, Father Andrei reminded the schoolchildren of the history of this memorable day, paying special attention to the fact that the victory was achieved thanks to the unity of people of different classes and origins for the common goal of saving the Fatherland and preserving the Orthodox faith. Father Andrei emphasized that the strength of Russia at all times lay precisely in the unity of its people.

The priest reminded the children that love for the Motherland begins small: with caring for one’s family, helping elders, being kind to classmates and carefully preserving the memory of one’s ancestors.

According to teachers, such conversations help children to better understand the meaning of public holidays and feel the inextricable connection between the history of the country and the spiritual traditions of our people.
