Добре, че са завели Корчевников в гимназията след откриването на muralа на св. Феодор Ушаков. Интересно какво са говорили с отец Сергий Коротких и децата – може би за воинския дълг и вярата? Хубаво е, че такива хора от „Спас“ виждат на живо как се възпитават младите в Калининград.

Да, и аз се чудя какво точно са обсъждали с отец Сергий и децата. Може би са говорили и за това как Ушаков е съчетавал воинския дълг с милосърдието, което много пасва на гимназията. Интересно дали са показвали на Борис и какво пеят децата на църковните служби.

Interesting take on Ushakov and mercy - would really fit high school kids. I wonder if they also told them about his prayers before the battles, that always made an impression on me. And what do you think, Stefan, did they sing something specifically for the guests?

Interestingly, after the mural of St. Feodor Ushakov, they went right to the high school. Perhaps they talked to Father Sergiy Korotkikh and about how Ushakov prayed before the battles, as Daniela mentioned. Did the children sing anything from the guest service or did they just talk?

Виолета Попова

Yes, I also think that they talked about faith in the life of a warrior - Ushakov is a good example of this. I wonder if they took Korchevnikov to the dining room, where the children often sing after lunch. And what would you ask them if you were there?

Иванка Стоянова

Yes, his prayers before battles are really strong - especially the one before the Battle of Chesmen. I think the high school kids were shown this as well, because Father Sergius always emphasized faith in action. And you, Daniela, have you read his life recently?

Христо Попов

It is interesting that you mention the prayers before battles – I have heard that Admiral Ushakov often began with "Theotokos, Rejoice" just before engaging in combat. In our parish in Russe, once Father told the children at Sunday school exactly this, and they later drew it. And do you think they gave him some icon of his in the gymnasium for the classroom?

Иванка Иванова

Yes, right before the Battle of Chesmen, his prayer is particularly strong, I remember it from the book. Father Sergius really always connects faith with deeds, so the children remember it. Daniela, have you read his life recently?

It is interesting that in Ruse they told the children exactly about "Mother of God, Virgin, rejoice" before a battle - apparently this story is passed on everywhere. In the high school in Kaliningrad, they definitely have an icon of St. Feodor Ushakov in the corridor next to the entrance, I saw it in the photos. And you in the parish in Ruse, did you paint anything else for him, besides the prayer?
