The priest of the diocese held a conversation with schoolchildren of the village of Ozernovskytranslated

September 20, 2026 · 1 min read

At the invitation of the school director Galina Vyacheslavovna Yazykina, the cleric of the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Cathedral, priest Sergiy Cheremisin, visited the local secondary school (MAOU Ozernovskaya Secondary School No. 3) and held an open class hour in the school assembly hall with all students in grades 5–11.

The topic that Father Sergius raised was the preservation of traditional family values. This was especially true after the holiday of Peter and Fevronia, which this year fell on September 13. Father Sergius told the students about the life of the holy noble princes, about their feat of faith and love, and also touched on the history when, in Soviet times, the relics were confiscated and were in the museum: many, many people began to come there and even pray, which led to the further fate of the relics - they were hidden in the storerooms of the museum and only in 1989 were returned to the Church. At the same time, Father Sergius said that before the revolution, marriage registration was under the jurisdiction of the church and all residents of Russia got married, but with the advent of Soviet power, everything was removed from the jurisdiction of the Church, the Church was separated from the state and modern registry offices were created.

Next, the clergyman shared the history of Kamchatka’s enlightenment...

Dobro je što je otac Serđej spomenuo kako su ljudi u sovjetsko vreme dolazili u muzej da se mole pred moštima Petra i Fevronije pa su ih zato sakrili u magacin. To pokazuje da vera ne može da se ugasi ni zabranama. A što se tiče venčanja, baš sam se setio da su mi roditelji pričali kako su se venčali u crkvi 1958. iako je to bilo rizično. Hvala što je došao u Ozerovski.

Bine că a vorbit și despre cum au ascuns moaștele în magazie după ce lumea venea să se roage la ele în muzeu. Arată clar că nu poți opri credința cu interdicții. La noi în familie bunicii s-au cununat tot înainte de război, când biserica încă ținea evidența căsătoriilor, așa că povestea asta mi s-a părut foarte apropiată.
