On July 18, the second day of the Orthodox gathering “Orthodoxy is my faith,” two thematic events were held dedicated to the Year of the Belarusian Woman and the memory of the holy wives of White Rus'.

As part of the meeting, the intellectual game “What? Where? When?" on the theme “Holy Wives of White Rus'”. The participants were divided into teams that had to answer questions about the lives and exploits of the holy women of the Belarusian land. The quiz questions were compiled based on materials about St. Manefa of Gomel, St. Sophia of Slutsk, St. Juliania, Princess Olshanskaya and St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk.

Each team, having received a question, discussed possible answers for a set time. Participants demonstrated knowledge of the lives of saints, the history of Orthodoxy in Belarusian lands, as well as the ability to think logically and work in a team. Based on the results of the game, the jury determined the winning team with the most points.

Ciekawe, że wybrali akurat Manefę Gomelską i Eufrozynę Połocką do pytań – moja babcia zawsze mówiła, że Eufrozyna to taka nasza białoruska patronka mniszek. Dobrze, że młodzież musiała pogłówkować nad żywotami, a nie tylko słuchać. A jak tam mąż z synem, poszliby na taką grę?

Tak, Eufrozynia Polocka faktycznie jest naszą białoruską patronką mniszek, babcia Andrzejowi dobrze mówiła. Mój mąż pewnie by poszedł na taką grę, bo lubi historię, ale syn woli piłkę nożną niż siedzenie i myślenie nad życiorysami. A ty sam próbowałeś z nimi pograć w „Co? Gdzie? Kiedy?” w domu?

Moja babcia też wspominała Eufrozynię, ale zawsze dodawała, że Manefa Gomelska to była taka twarda kobieta, co w lesie się ukrywała i modliła. U nas w domu mąż czasem siada z synem do „Co? Gdzie? Kiedy?”, ale kończy się na tym, że syn po dwóch pytaniach ucieka na ryby. A ty sam byś spróbował z nimi pogłówkować nad takimi żywotami?
