Gymnasium students and their parents visited the church in Berezovkatranslated

November 13, 2026 · 1 min read

Last week, on the feast of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, the Church of the Entry into the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Beryozovka was visited by students of gymnasium No. 1 along with their parents and class teacher. The meeting with the guys was held by the regular cleric, Priest Maxim Petrov.

At the beginning of the conversation, the priest told the children about God, why it is important to be with Him and why people come to church. Father Maxim showed how to be baptized correctly and spoke about the power of prayer, after which each schoolchild was able to light a candle. The guys also remembered the history of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and discussed the importance of preserving the unity of the people and the Orthodox faith.

The children climbed the bell tower: they found out what it was for, listened to the chimes and tried themselves as bell ringers.

At the end of the meeting, Father Maxim gave each child a booklet about the history of the holiday and a book with stories. The priest was thanked for the meeting and invited to the gymnasium.
