The St. Catherine Foundation prepared and blessed 5,000 Easter cakes for medical workers in Yekaterinburg, which will be distributed and handed over to doctors during Bright Week (the Easter week in Orthodoxy, the first seven days of the Easter celebration, starting from Sunday and including the following six days).
The production of the Easter treat was organized at one of the local facilities, and the sacrament of blessing was traditionally conducted by Priest Pavel Kononenko (acting senior priest of the John the Baptist Cathedral).
"Great gratitude to the medical workers who treat us, treat our children, our parents, our friends, everyone. They heal our entire nation because... they resemble Christ through this. Christ, when He lived on earth, when He walked with His pure feet on the ground, also healed. And of course, He blessed everyone and spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven and rose again for our salvation," the words of Priest Pavel Kononenko are quoted by the Foundation.
"Participating in such a good deed is an honor for me. It brings me immense joy that I have the honor to participate in the blessing of the Easter cakes and thus take part in congratulating our doctors."
In addition, the St. Catherine Foundation and "Sima-Lend" organized the delivery of the Holy Fire to Yekaterinburg. Metropolitan Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye Evgeny blessed the pilgrimage mission.
The day before, a special flight flew to Moscow for a portion of it, which brought the relic. The fire was delivered to the capital of Russia directly from the Jerusalem Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Dozens of clergymen and Orthodox believers from all over the Urals met the mission at Koltsovo Airport and received the Holy Fire from the hands of the senior priest of the Church-on-the-Blood, Protoiereus Maxim Menyaylo, the director of the foundation Alexander Andreev, and the president of the RMC Sports Academy Ivan Shtyrkov, to distribute it to their parishes.
