The priest blessed the young Cossackstranslated

On October 13, as part of a missionary initiative, on the eve of the Feast of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the initiation of pupils into Cossacks took place at the Kindergarten No. 222 in Krasnodar.

At the beginning of the event, the full-time priest of the Church of John the Baptist, Father John Semenov, read a prayer and addressed the audience with an opening speech. Then the guys showed their skills, trying to prove that they are already worthy of the title of Cossack. The ataman of the Vostochny Kuren HCO spoke to the children. He talked about what it means to be a real Cossack, what one should strive for and what spiritual qualities should distinguish a Cossack and a Cossack woman. The guys made a promise to strive to be worthy of the title of Cossack.

At the end, Father John blessed the children and sprinkled everyone present with holy water.
