On the day of remembrance of the holy prophet of God Elijah, the patronal holiday was celebrated in the St. Elias Church in the village of Novoandreevka, Miass district. The main event of the celebration was the consecration of a new set of bells for the mobile belfry, which became a gift to the parish. For the holiday, parishioners made a metal belfry, installed it on a car and attached new bells. After the Divine Liturgy, the rector of the church, Archpriest Dmitry Kudryakov, performed the rite of consecration of the belfry. Immediately after this, it sounded during the traditional religious procession through the streets of the village. Despite the pouring rain, the service and procession attracted numerous parishioners and guests from Miass, Karabash, surrounding villages and even St. Petersburg. Many believers received Holy Communion of Christ. At the end of the service, a prayer service with an akathist, a sermon by the rector and a festive meal took place. Now the mobile belfry will be used during services in surrounding villages and religious processions. In addition, bell ringers' schools will be able to conduct classes there. For the patronal feast, parishioners and Sunday school students decorated the temple and the area around it. CDRO Chelyabinsk Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. All…
