"Partisan Father"translated

June 24, 2026 · 1 min read

Children from the health camp “Youth” of the State Educational Institution “Ushachi Secondary School” visited the temple and Sunday school of the parish of the holy martyrs Minodora, Metrodora, Nymphodora. Ushachi to participate in the planned meeting dedicated to the memory of Archpriest Viktor Bekarevich.

The thematic hour “Partisan Father” for all units begins in the church: a short excursion, touching the icons, a preliminary acquaintance with the priest - a fellow countryman at the information stand. For most meeting participants, the name of Father Victor is heard for the first time. It is gratifying that the legendary priest, veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Father Victor has become close and familiar to everyone.

In Sunday school, with the help of a presentation, children can see the house where Father Victor, a tenth-generation hereditary priest, was born, hear his living voice in a recording, learn the details of his ministry, difficulties and life-threatening moments during the war.

Entertaining tasks will help you remember and realize that the ministry of Archpriest Viktor Bekarevich fell during a difficult war time, which did not break the spirit of the priest. And the name “partisan priest” is deserved by the high spiritual qualities of Father Victor and his great love for people.
