Festival of Orthodox families in Novaya Lyala: a celebration of warmth, tradition and unitytranslated

July 13, 2026 · 1 min read

The event brought together the families of the city, allowing them to share what is especially dear to their hearts: family traditions, favorite recipes, warm stories and photographs. The atmosphere on the site was homely and conducive to communication.

There was a photo zone for festival guests - now many families have memorable photographs that will become a cherished memory of the bright day. The active part of the program consisted of competitions that brought together participants of all ages: fun and a spirit of family unity reigned in them.

Creative performances became a bright decoration of the holiday. Parishioner Snezhana Melikhova composed and read a poem about the church and the life of the parish especially for the festival - its sincerity touched everyone present. Young artists from the DDT summer camp “Rainbow” added joy and warmth: the guys performed a dance, which became one of the most heartwarming moments of the day.

The festival ended with a traditional parish tea party in the church courtyard. At the large common table there were lively conversations, laughter and words of gratitude for a long time - a real holiday...
