Metropolitan Kiril came to us in the small town of Glazov of Udmurtia - His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia.
There were a lot of people, many young people and children, there was no service, there was a church lighting and a salutatory speech, they practically listened through the big screen in the square, which was set up specially for this occasion, to give an opportunity to see and hear all those gathered in the square.
Being there was such euphoria from the sensation of the proximity of a significant figure, and even on such a significant day - the Protection of the Blessed Virgin, as if they, together with the Blessed Virgin, covered the city and the townspeople from all troubles and misfortunes. Such magnitude has not come to us since the time of Catherine.
I photographed a lot, I do not need to comment. Everyone was in full attention, listened to every word, was afraid to miss.
He flew and flew by helicopter with our Head of the Republic Brychalov. He also illuminated a new place for the new chapel, after his departure there was a religious procession from the believers. The helicopter was landing near the square, right behind the bridge over the river.
Our small town is famous for the fact that there is a unique plant CMP, working for the nuclear industry, about which the metro said that he knew about it and its significance, and now also the visit to the Metropolitan of All Russia Cyril!
In the city we have Cossacks. Today they helped the police to cordon and restore order.
This I captured myself against the background of such an event.
And here the Metropolitan presented the award to our Patron for the restoration of the church in the village of Krasnogorskoye Sorokin NB.
