The Orthodox Church is celebrating the 1025th anniversary of introduction of Christianity into medieval Russia. Clerical delegations and the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are joining the festivities in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev.
More…The culmination of the celebrations will be a liturgy in Kiev’s central cathedral Kiev Pechersk Laura (Kiev Monastery of the Caves) and a sacred procession carrying the St. Andrew’s cross, a symbolic relic that once united the nations on the territory of modern Belarus, Ukraine and European part of Russian Federation over a millennium ago, when Kiev was the main center of the Eastern Slavic world.
