Holy Protection Russian Orthodox Church – ROCOR

May 6, Victory Day Commemoration

24 Apr, 2018

We will commemorate Victory Day again this year. The focus will be on the role of the Church during World War II, the children who participated in the war, and the Stalingrad battle that was a turning point towards victory.

Pascha in 1945 fell on May 6, the feast day of St. George the Trophy Bearer.

Children will recite poetry, to remind us of the tragedies which we pray will never be repeated.

The program will occur right after the meal after the Divine Liturgy on Sunday the 6th of May, and will be bilingual.
