“Kindness that warms”: Archpriest Vladimir Yaromich, rector of the Church of All Saints in the city of Lida, visited elderly people in the round-the-clock care unittranslated

On October 14, the rector of the Church of All Saints in the city of Lida, Archpriest Vladimir, together with the sisters of mercy of the St. Basil's Brotherhood, visited elderly citizens staying in the 24-hour care unit. This visit was not just an official event, but a real holiday for those who especially need attention and care.

A concert program was prepared for the department's wards. Warm words of congratulations were heard on the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos and Mother's Day. Father Vladimir addressed the elderly with a pastoral word, recalling that the Most Holy Theotokos covers us all with Her honest omophorion, and maternal love is a great gift that warms a person throughout life. The priest emphasized that caring for neighbors, especially the older generation, is the main Christian duty.

After the concert, the priest and sisters presented gifts to each ward. The meeting ended with a friendly tea party, during which guests and elderly people were able to communicate in an informal setting, share joy and memories. Many of the wards are themselves mothers and grandmothers, so Mother’s Day has become a particularly touching holiday for them.…
