Missionary action in Odintsovotranslated

October 29, 2026 · 1 min read

What is behind the November 4th holiday? On October 29, the cleric of the Spassky Church in the village told the students of grades 5 and 6 of Odintsovo Secondary School No. 12. Usovo priest Sergius Sakharov.

The meeting turned out to be not just a lecture, but a real lesson in history and spirituality. Father Sergius told the children about how the holiday arose, what events formed its basis, and why the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is considered the patroness of the Russian army and people.

The guest explained to the schoolchildren that faith and unity have always helped our people overcome difficulties. The children learned a lot about their roots and traditions.
