this is a human outlet for an orthodox person, where he can come, pray, ask something from god , say something on his own, give thanks, and of course, the temple is like hope, we are all mortals and expect the kingdom of god from the lord. well, we hope that the choir will be so. at the temple, chanting is the most important and amazing component of worship. here in this temple, very dear to my heart, i was baptized in infancy, here in this temple my grandmother bore obedience, she sang in the choir, then my mother began her regency path too. in this temple, and i was in this temple from my earliest years, then graduated from music school, college of music and choreography, and sang in the choirs of our temples.

dedicated to the memory of the event, the meeting of jesus christ in the jerusalem temple. naturally, a solemn service is held in all orthodox churches on this day. the same service was performed in our church ; a festive divine liturgy was performed. the service was attended by students from veniyaan secondary school. the high school students, each as best they could, turned to god. someone lit a candle, someone else. prayed sincerely, it was symbolic and significant, probably, that it was on this day that the high school students visited the temple, because besides the fact that today the orthodox church celebrates in honor of the lord's prayer, today is orthodox youth day, students, many of whom - by the way, graduated from sunday school, some of them are now attending with many... because of them, we

are participating in social projects with these guys, here today, of course, is a school day, a weekday, and you could see that at our service there were assistant sextons, the so-called, and these are people, these are the children of our parishioners , the grandchildren of our parishioners, they are students, sunday school pupils, but at the same time time boys, many of the pupils help me at the altar, help me in... many people, coming to church, try to turn not only to the mother of god, but to st. nicholas, turn to him with their requests, ask him for help, intercession before god and intercession. we are now in the territory of st. nicholas, here i have it behind my back, and the ancient image of this saint, here on the iconostasis there are the royal doors. they are

historical, they are not native, not from this temple, but originally they were in iconostasis in the st. nicholas convent, well, at one time the monastery and st. nicholas church were closed, the iconostasis was destroyed, and in some miraculous way these royal doors were brought here, all the icons can be revered, well, of course there are especially revered, especially beloved ones. talking about icons, i would like to start with the temple icon, with the icon dedicated to the mother of god. in general, we are accustomed to imagining the icon of the veil in the form when we see the face of the most holy theotokos, and the most holy theotokos is holding amaphoros in her arms, here is an ancient temple icon, near which i am now has a peculiarity, we don’t just see.

mother, and here the icon describes the whole event that took place in the blachernae temple , next to her, in the same kiod there is still a very revered... to the kazan mother of god one year on the feast of palm resurrection , my wife, morshka olga, helped the workers in in the temple to look after the candlesticks, she says: i go up to the candlestick, i see a woman standing next to the icon, crying tearfully, talking about something, turning to god’s mother, mother approached this woman and asked: what happened to you, how can i help you?

moved to the maslennikov museum, the current one, it used to be a zemstvo bank, and many shrines were kept, but during the great patriotic war, they were taken away from mogilev, and this shrine, the white image of the mother of god, disappeared without a trace, in our church there is

an ancient image, an ancient list of this icons of the mother of god, in this frame, and what is important, if you pay attention, a necklace hangs on the frame, this is always a sign that people, praying in front of the image, turn to in their prayers to the mother of god, they received what they asked for, received consolation, received perhaps healing, and traditionally, as a sign of gratitude, they bring the most dear, precious thing as a gift to the most holy theotokos. the iconography of the mother of god has a special place.

answer, which holy mother of god is here, right here, my grandmother gave it to me, it is black and white, and i don’t know what this image is, i don’t know all the icons, there are very, very many of them, but i remembered that there are such a lithograph, and we decided to go and compare it, it turned out to be spanish the icon of the mother of god, the icon of the mother of god of the mammal, symbolizes... it is interesting that at the bottom of kyoto there is

an inscription that reads: this icon was donated by such and such people, their names are listed and... it ends with an inscription in memory of the russian -japanese war 1905-1906. the icons embody the richness of the orthodox culture of symbolism. each icon carries a deep spiritual meaning, being an important object of veneration and respect for believers. the church is not in logs, but the church is in ribs. so, thank god that people find opportunity, they have. the desire to visit the temple, to live according to the commandments of the lord. i am very grateful to these people, i think, i am even sure that they are coming here as to a spiritual source. it seems that in the church of the blessed virgin mary, in the agricultural town of veina

, time stops to give way to reverent peace, its walls are permeated with the prayers of generations, the atmosphere is filled with spiritual light. and peace. any building, even a temple, can remain just a building. temple. there will be no temple if there are no people in it, and there will be no prayer to god. with you were the istnost program and i, inga belova, all the best to you.
