Patronal feast day in the church in honor of the supreme apostles Peter and Paultranslated

July 21, 2026 · 1 min read

On July 21, on the day of the celebration of the appearance of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, a solemn Divine Liturgy took place in the church in honor of the Supreme Apostles Peter and Paul.

Since the lower limit of the church is consecrated in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, for the parish this day is a patronal holiday - a special one, filled with spiritual joy and thanksgiving.

Young parishioners, students of the Blagovest Sunday school, also took part in the service. For children, the opportunity to come into contact with church tradition and become part of a common prayer activity is an important step in spiritual growth.

According to established tradition, at the end of the Liturgy, a procession of the cross took place around the church. The procession with icons and prayer chants became a visible expression of love and veneration of the Most Holy Theotokos, Her intercession and mercy for people.

The holiday once again recalled the great significance of the Kazan icon as a symbol of national unity and spiritual support in difficult times.

It’s good that the children from Blagovest were at the service. In our Sunday school we also try to have them not just stand, but help with icons and singing. The procession around the church on this day is always especially emotional, even when it’s hot.

Yes, I agree, it's nice to see how the guys from «Благовест» really participate. In our parish we also encourage them to carry candles and sing тропари, although sometimes they are distracted by the heat. At your school, how do you ensure that they don't get bored during the крестный ход?
