It’s good that Father Sergius came to the line and talked to the guys. A gift in the form of a textbook “Belarus is our Radzima” to first-graders is right; from the very beginning it is necessary to instill love for the native land. We also have such meetings in Yaroslavl, always kindly.

I agree, Timofey, such meetings from first grade really help. In Samara, too, priests come to the service, and then the children ask with interest about the church. What textbook do they give to first-graders in Yaroslavl?
