NWS Church Consecration ENPUB
On 4 December, in a temple full of believers and local authorities, Patriarch Kirill consecrated the Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Mary - the main building of the religious complex at Ryazansky Avenue, south of Moscow.
The youngest pupils of the Parish school gave bread and salt – a traditional sign of hospitality and joy – and flowers to the Patriarch, and the Rector Father Victor Sundar presented an icon of the Mother of God to the Patriarch in name of the clergy and parishioners.
The Holiest Patriarch Kirill addressed the believers with this message: "After the consecration of new churches we feel a special force of God’s grace. The Lord gives inspiration and talent to architects for creating the external beauty of churches, and prayer helps us to create the spiritual beauty in our lives".
