Camp “Heirs”: day twotranslated

On July 16, 2026, in the “Heirs” camp at the parish of the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Lord in the city of Smorgon, Mother Elena held an open lesson for children on the topic “Divine Liturgy: Symbolism and meaning of worship.”

During the lesson, the children were told in an accessible manner about the utensils, vestments, books and the actions of the priest in the altar. After lunch, the children in the playroom got acquainted with the lives of the holy wives of Belarus: Euphrosyne of Polotsk and Valentina of Minsk. The task of each detachment was to select an episode from the life of the saint and prepare a skit, and the other detachments would guess what it was about. Thanks to the work of the teachers, the children prepared very responsibly and with love and showed their skits, where they wanted to show why they liked this particular episode from the life of the saint the most.

In the evening, around the fire, the rector of the cathedral, Archpriest Anatoly Rezanovich, had a conversation with the children and answered their questions.
