you can feel yourself in the time of francis skaryna. or you can even earlier, so we brought her and now we need it. though all the encyclopedia has gone. and now we see that the library of the flat st. sophia cathedral was in the xi century. next comes the francis bible. skaryna is again indicated - the dates and the main events are indicated. they will be shown in an era when we have a little hope for digital platforms, when we see how wikipedia articles in other electronic encyclopedias change on the go. here the book is what remains and carries historical memory brings historical truth to our descendants, then, uh, how much will they judge? what we were like today the decree on the disposal of property came into force the main innovation is the strengthening of the role of local authorities in resolving the issue of the disposal of the lord of property, at the same time , certain costs and balances were included in the decree so that

the interests of one state body or another do not come to the fore , the main leitmotif of all changes, the efficiency and effectiveness of use. state asset decree will help increase efficiency management of property to reduce the number of unused facilities, as well as increase the investment activity of the population and business, especially in rural areas , today we were faced with the task of further simplifying and further improving this process in order to hmm every unused state facility. finally find the owner. yes, we have taken the path of expanding hmm powers and at the same time maintaining local responsibility, because well, who else but a local official and a local council of deputies, but knows about the specific needs of people in this region about the needs of the region itself more than 150 creative works of various genres and trends are presented at the exhibition in

the gallery of the university of culture, the new project is a synthesis of different generations of artists, teachers, students and graduates of the department. of artistic pedagogical education at the maxim tank university pedagogical university, the project will be developed in terms of cooperation with the russian pedagogical university father alexander priests are different priests, prayer books. priests pray well, builders build temples well, priests are learned bloggers according to this typology, you know who i belong to, i probably

include myself in all these categories that you named, because today a priest really has to be a blogger builder and speak in various audiences and the priest is expected both at school and at the university and working labor collectives, therefore, all these incarnations are quite applicable today, probably, to every clergyman. my guest is a very unusual person; he runs a video blog on youtube. he is fond of football. and

he is also building a temple today , the rector of the parish of st. spyridon of trimifunt, priest alexander pochechevsky father alexander, is visiting me. good morning. good morning, in my opinion, the observation of the priests. uh, mostly people are either from religious families, or in whose lives there was some kind of turning point, as was your case. my family was completely non-religious. well, the coming to god happened at the age of about 15 years. i realized that i wanted to be a priest. a how this consciousness came to you. as a result, it all started with what you know, as usual, with my parents, we came to the temple to light a candle, maybe come to

some kind of festive service - it really is either easter or christmas . when i came to the temple, i began to pay attention to uh, what's going on there. i began to listen. uh, to singing to reading to what the priest says and i began to feel. here is some special presence of god a in the temple at the service became more interested and at some point i realized that uh my life should be connected to this hmm and how did your family react to your decision to become a priest. well, my parents always took this position, they gave me complete freedom and complete independence.

the choice of my path, and they only supported , of course, it was unexpected for them, because, uh , not in my family, not grandparents, no one here was connected with the church, especially in some way. and it was unexpected for them, but it was. their reaction was rather positive. you got a wonderful education, and graduated from the minsk spiritual seminar, then studied in switzerland among the areas of your scientific interests. uh, the connection of the moscow patriarchate with the russian church abroad. why did you choose this particular direction, and i've always wondered, huh? russian diaspora, and especially i was interested. the history of our church in the 20th century. i got acquainted with a huge amount of both

archival materials and uh biographies and uh life writings of uh saints of the 20th century. this is basically, and the new martyrs are confessors of our church, who during the period of persecution. e to the church. uh, really set an hmm worthy example. eh, the christian faith preserved this faith , someone gave his life for the orthodox faith , and i was always very inspired and, uh, admired the examples of the life of these people and the direction of the relationship of our church with the russian abroad. in the church, it seemed to me that it was not sufficiently disclosed and developed, therefore, together with the supervisor. we have chosen this theme.

to what extent the church, as one of the spheres of society , should meet the requirements of modernity, of course, the church. uh, her life. it is connected with the life of society, and we are members of the orthodox christian church. we do not completely separate ourselves. yes, from those events of change that occur in the life of the society that surrounds us, and therefore, it seems to me, based on this, the church of e cannot separate itself in any way, and it must be relevant. and how do you feel about the opinion that the priest should be not of this world. uh, there is some truth in this statement, because he really is a clergyman. er, dedicates his whole life to the service of god and,

er, the first thing. what a priest does is, uh, prayer. this is worship. it is participation in the sacraments. and, of course, a big one. uh, part uh of the day priest. e, transporting e. in prayer, of course, he raises his thoughts of his heart to god. and you are one of those priests who actively use the internet. and how did the idea come up to preach through the network today , almost everyone and adult children spend a lot. e time on the internet in social networks and therefore, of course, the church should use all available tools in order to fulfill its function

, its mission and carry the word. e, including through the internet and e, all available resources are popular, so the presence of our parish is my presence on the internet. this is part of our ministry. that is, on the one hand, expand the audience to tell the audience about yourself. eh, to find some affordable ways so that as many people as possible get to know the beauty of the orthodox content. information struggle and clash of ideology on journalists a huge layer of responsibility, they

fix the reality of a new format of international relations, where every step has a diplomatic significance, these exits should make us not weaker, but stronger. everyone should know this so that people of different points of view can hear each other, if we don’t want to hear each other, why it’s important to meet, not to get super profits from the sale of natural resources. there's something else enrichment of some units. yes, and what, simply put, you did for the motherland, how do you develop your native country editor's club watch on belarus 24 tv channel. if you have not yet come up with a dream trip, then we always have a couple of ideal options. the first point from my route, i chose a pond in the city center. pay attention to this observation deck, which is made in the unusual style of the signs

of the zodiac with us. you will receive a charge of positive emotions. oh god ahh, wow. that was really good. feel like a queen see the bright sights of our country sightseeing hunter then white church must be on your list. watch in the program the route is built on our tv channel. you have your own channel on youtube and you write posts. your church has its own page

on twitter on instagram . how do other priests feel about such innovations ? and what questions do your subscribers often ask you? questions related to the spiritual life. first of all, it can be. uh, also some personal requests. i served in different parishes, and places in different parishes, and we keep in touch with parishioners from these places, where i happened to serve during the day. it can be just dozens of uh , sms messages or calls, uh, in which our parishioners come with some questions or with

personal requests, it can even be some kind of requests for prayer in some fishy matters. if someone hmm got to the hospital, they call me and write to me very often. uh, ask uh, pray for health for healing. hmm, students often come here. uh, some difficulties here in the relationship. if there are, we can spend this few hours together and sort out some difficult questions about the situation. you had to deal with some very serious life problems. yes, this happens from time to time and we are always looking for solutions to the issue, including through participation in worship in prayer, because the priest does not always act on his own, but he always

still looking for some support. uh, the lord himself. and if you have haters on the network, uh , in fact, even i can’t even remember such cases, i probably didn’t even have to communicate with such people. and what is absolutely impossible for orthodox priests to do in social networks? what question? a priest first of all when he speaks openly on some important issues on social networks. he must understand that he represents the position primarily of the church and must always , uh, be divided into his personal opinion on some issues and, uh, let's say the official

the position of the orthodox church, and therefore, in these statements, of course, one must be guided by the experience of the church and connects this position of the russian orthodox church. can a priest use slang or, let's say , non-normative vocabulary when communicating with his audience? i think that, of course, this is not welcome, because eh is still a clergyman, and based on labor for his activities of his ministry , a person is called. eh, raise uplift to some. uh, maybe a high yes uh spiritual bar. and, of course, there should be. uh example, yes, and in speech here in the words that he uses. and if you have

statistics, how many people have brought to vera your videos and posts on networks such special statistics we don’t keep, but we get quite a lot. eh, positive feedback and e words of gratitude, and this is for us. e , it supports us and inspires us to work further in this direction, that is, after all, this interchange of some opinions. he exists. yes, it exists, it happens all the time and, to be honest, i didn’t even expect it to be like this at the beginning. involvement and such such great interest, and there is an opinion that the orthodox church is too strict in its rules. well, for example, uh, women are not allowed to appear in the temple with their heads uncovered in a short skirt. here are

the rules. they were written by people later or spelled out in the scriptures, part. uh, these rules are indeed contained, uh, in some documents of our church, in some canons, and many u prescriptions are rather traditions in different temples. uh, there are different attitudes towards such rules in different churches. not always. these are the rules, these strictness follows, and we must apply them, er, to all the same. well, as for the appearance of women and a covered head, this is spelled out in scripture, there is the apostle paul , such words look like this quote find her yes, but

if you look at the tradition in other local orthodox uh churches, for example, in greece , bulgaria in romania, then we will see that and there you can meet a few new attitudes towards such things. i understand that, of course, parishioners observe these rules. they are familiar with them, but ordinary people. e. here, non-compliance with these rules threatens them with something. no, of course, this does not threaten anything with regard to fasting either. experienced spiritual fathers and clergy say that we cannot demand the same from everyone. uh, full strict implementation of this post, because there are, uh, people with good health. yes, someone does not have this health to eat. eh, adults. yes, there are children. uh, nursing mothers have men

whose professions are associated with hard physical labor, so it’s the same for everyone uh, be strict, of course, but can't, well, most people hmm attitude to post. this is like a restriction in food, but in fact. what is fate? in fact, uh, fasting, like a diet, is only uh an addition , yes, to what we call, uh, the spiritual practice of great lent, uh, the purpose of fasting is god himself. what is the goal of spiritual life and in general , orthodox churches, and everything else, what do we have in tradition, orthodoxy and worship and fasting and some other canons.

it's only the means that lead us to god they only but give us the right direction help us, well, they are not the samosa bush ends with the easter festivities, that is, the rebirth of christ, the post itself, these are physical limitations let's say. it's like an attempt. it is also paid to live, those teachings through which christ passed in order to ascend spiritually in fact. i now remember my student years in the seminary, and then there really was a good opportunity. eh, very deep. ah, feel and now experience the benefits. uh, lent, because uh in the seminary during lent the first and last weeks of lent , classes are canceled and students attend

worship every day and together. uh, with uh food restriction. yes, and uh, in the amount of food , including, uh, such an inner feeling comes both physical and spiritual, and in such a state it is really easier to pray and the sensations from fasting are very fruitful indeed . there are many such philistine stereotypes that in one way or another relate to the church and religion. i have collected some of them and propose to talk about them. well, for example, work during

religious holidays. this is a big sin. it's a sin in that case. uh, if an orthodox christian works instead of being in the temple, we have a commandment. e, six days was made the seventh to the lord thy god, therefore, of course, e orthodox christians are called on sunday to be in the temple on a feast day. yes, and if there is an opportunity to go to the temple for worship, but instead a christian prefers something else, then most likely it will be, if we visited the temple for worship. other things, well

these prohibitions apply to believers or to everyone. well, first of all, of course, they refer to believers. here is holy water over time, it loses its properties, and it deteriorates or not. in fact , there were no such situations in my life, because we store water during the year in the house from one baptismal holiday to the next, and every year we renew this water, but it depends. probably from storage conditions. uh, water and in general that's in theory. well it can happen. how to store? well holy water is kept in some kind of glass container. so if we use it, yes, we regularly treat holy water, as shrines are really a sphere. water then, probably, it will not be with

us. that's such a long time for it to go bad, are they really in any water and have the same spiritual effect as bathing in icy nature. uh, in general, this is the tradition. uh, dip uh in water at epiphany it's been known for a long time in our church in the russian orthodox church and uh, it's hmm related to the fact that the lighting is done of that kind, yes, that is, a clergyman. eh, present in this place says certain prayers. uh, makes lighting. eh, this ice-hole is sprinkled with holy water, and only after that, as a rule, dipping is done and such places for dipping were bought. e, there are quite a lot

of them, they are located on the territory of many churches and monasteries, and therefore yes, such dipping, it is always connected with prayer, and with the faith of the one who makes this statement that baptismal water delivers from sin. it is correct. no, not quite right, because delivers from sin, according to the teachings of our church, repentance, that is, an internal change in a person, and water in itself, without involving a person, yes, in the process of one's inner spiritual life. she, of course, is not able to change anything. e. there is another statement that easter attributes, and easter cakes colored eggs are mentioned in the bible is it true or not, in fact

, we will not find any indications in the holy scriptures in this regard, but these indications are contained in the tradition of the church, that is, oral tradition and in the practice of the church, which persisted. and has been passed down for many centuries this is connected, so to speak, with the birth of christ when the magi brought the gifts well, there is a story that is associated with mary magdalene when she came to the emperor, who was not, uh, a believer, and in my opinion, here he u said such a phrase. here, if these are the eggs. change color, then i'll believe, christ to whom you speak and really this miracle happened and since then

there is such a tradition and there is another statement that a crossed person in life there are much fewer troubles and misfortunes, well, in fact, when parents come to the temple to baptize their child, i often ask a question. why why do you want to do this ? the purpose of baptism, yes, is when a person communicates with god, but in order for a person to develop spiritually, e he e

must be part of the church must be a member of the church, and being part of the church is possible only through baptism, that is, baptism is the door to the church. yes, but the further development of a person’s development depends on his participation in the personal father alexander, and there are also statistics for weddings, and they break up less often than marriages concluded only in the registry office, peace in the family, love between spouses. yes it is combined through uh, mutual labor mutual respect. and the sacrament of the wedding is, let's say, additional. yes, such a blessing to the church the blessing of god on the work that others are ready to call the meaning of life for you, what is the meaning of life? the meaning of life for me

is god, because in the holy scriptures , the lord, jesus christ speaks about himself. i am the path of truth and life, therefore the life of a clergyman. it is connected with the service of god to the ministries, and people and getting to know god. uh him. eh, in this case, only life is filled with a deep meaning of content. thank you this was the meaning of the life of priest alexander alchevsky.
