On July 26, 2022, Priest Alexey Kruchko, a cleric of the Cathedral of St. Righteous Anna of Stolbsi, took part in the “Zazhinki” holiday in “Profi-Agrocenter” in Zayamnoye.
The priest addressed words of gratitude to the workers of the fields, noting that bread has always occupied the main place in the symbolic culture of Christianity. The most important sacrament of the Church is the Eucharist, performed using bread. And today, starting a difficult period of grain harvesting, it is important to remember that with the right disposition of the heart, this God-pleasing work of the hands of grain growers becomes a prayer of love and gratitude, ennobling and perfecting the soul of those who work.
In conclusion, the priest performed a brief prayer with sprinkling of holy water on the workers and grain harvesting equipment.
