On July 28, the Holy Church celebrates the memory of St. Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Prince Vladimir, and on the same day, according to tradition, the most important event in the history of Russia is celebrated – the Baptism of Rus. It marked the beginning of the history of the great nation. The Slavic tribes became a God-bearing people, the guardian of the true faith until the end of time. St. Prince Vladimir is the heavenly patron of President Vladimir Putin, so today we especially pray for Russia and its leader.
On this day, three people were baptized at the parish of St. Matrona. Let us also pray for the newly enlightened servants of God Ambrose and his daughters Alexandra and Sophia. May God grant them many years!
