Meetings with children were held in the Church of the Nativity of Christ in Borisov as part of the “Orthodoxy Day in the Parish” projecttranslated

The program of meetings was timed to coincide with the day of remembrance of the holy noble princes Peter and Fevronia. Using the example of the lives of these patrons of marriage, the young guests reflected on the ideal of the Orthodox family, discussing the enduring value of love, fidelity and mutual support. Particular attention was paid to moral choice: together with the organizers, children learned to distinguish between good and evil in everyday life, discussing ways to cultivate mercy in their own hearts. The creative conclusion of the conversation was the creation of a “sun of goodness” - the children wrote their good deeds and good intentions on the rays of paper crafts.

The highlight of the visit was a tour of the temple. The schoolchildren got acquainted with the church decoration, learned about the meaning of icons and the structure of the Orthodox space, heard a story about the feat of the martyr Julia of Carthage and reverently lit candles. The meeting left a bright impression on the children and became a living, visual lesson in faith and kindness.…
