The event timed to the Mother’s Day was held in the conference hall of the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve on November 23. The music and poetic composition “Heart for the Virgin” was presented by the theatre studio “Tale” under the direction of Tatiana Lyushina. It consists of pupils of the Sunday school opened in the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery.

First Tatiana Lyushina addressed the meeting. She congratulated the spectators on the forthcoming holiday and suggested getting to the atmosphere of warmth and cosiness because the mother’s image was inherently connected with them. The young actors sang songs, recited poems, and reminded of the proverbs about the mother. The Virgin is the main symbol and ideal of motherhood for Orthodox Christians. There was an icon of the Virgin on the stage during the performance. The children prayed in front of it.

The next event of the theatre studio “Tale” will take place during the winter holidays in early January. It will mark Christmas celebrations.
