Spring Cleaning |
The universal Ukrainian rituals of bathing and cleaning house on the Thursday before Easter have become integral mystical rites of the majority Orthodox population of our country. This is the day when even those who want nothing to do with religion rigorously use artesian water for their hygiene needs. And as it happened Salvation Church was also involved in this national "wave of cleanliness." More accurately, we started a week before "Clean Thursday." We declared a cleanup action, not motivated by religious considerations, but ordinary necessity ... Â After the insulation work was done on the facade of the Christian Center, the next problem concerned removing the construction debris left by the hard-working builders. Any project during the week will not attract many workers. Yet, despite the small numbers, the grounds of the Christian Center were prepared for the festive day of Christ's Resurrection. On behalf of the church we thank all those who lent a hand! Likewise, we urge all of our readers to prepare and purify their hearts in anticipation of the Sunday service. Do not forget that at any moment you may be visited by a long-awaited guest! Clean up so that in the home that is your heart he may feel himself the master! |
