On July 6, in the teahouse at the Church of the Great Martyr and Victorious George in the city of Ivanovo, something happened to the participants of the young creative NOT’camp. The chairman of the missionary department of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk diocese, the rector of the church, Priest John Lvov, held an informal conversation for the children about the most important thing - about God, faith and the meaning of life.

From the first minutes, communication ceased to be just a lecture. The guys asked questions, and the priest answered them. The main goal of the missionary meeting, according to the priest himself, was not just to tell, but to show.

The conversation gradually developed into a tour of the temple. Participants in the NOT’camp learned about the symbolism of church architecture and why every element of the temple has a deep spiritual meaning. Priest John explained the meaning of icons, candles, the structure of the altar, and spoke in detail about the Sacrament of Communion.
