October 5, 2026 · 1 min read

In the Church of the Great Martyr Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, a meeting was held between the rector of the church and teachers and students of grades 6-7 of the Orekhovsk Secondary School named after N.L. Kostyuchenko, Ushachi district.”

The rector of the church, Archpriest Vyacheslav Lobets, told the children about the history of the church. The children venerated the icons and lit candles.

The meeting then continued at Sunday school. The priest's conversation with schoolchildren was dedicated to the Day of Older People and was built around the Fifth Commandment of God about honoring parents. The priest explained the Christian understanding of old age as a time of spiritual wisdom and practical manifestations of caring for the older generation. Father Vyacheslav was interested in how children build relationships with their parents and grandparents, what family traditions develop and are maintained in families. The meeting took place in a friendly and interesting atmosphere. At the end, the children were treated to sweets.
