On November 15, 2026, the Makhachkala diocese hosted the “We Are Together” Sunday school festival, dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the Assumption Cathedral and the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia.

The festival brought together children and teachers from different parishes, emphasizing the importance of interethnic harmony, friendship of peoples, love for the Fatherland and the preservation of common spiritual and cultural traditions

The archbishop of Makhachkala and Derbent Varlaam gave the archpastoral blessing to the participants and organizers of the event.

The Bishop wished success to the young participants of the festival and expressed gratitude for the efforts of the Sunday school teachers.

“I also thank the parents for bringing their children to church, giving them the opportunity from an early age to touch the Church, to touch the faith,” added the archpastor. “God grant that faith in every person strengthens and grows, and let us pray that the Lord will bless all our prayers and labors.”

The holiday began with joint prayer. The presenters reminded the participants and guests of the spiritual purpose of the church, comparing it to a ship that leads a person across the sea of ​​life to salvation, and a Sunday school to a deck where children take their first steps in the Orthodox faith.
