The premiere of the film about the spiritual feat of Donbas residents took place in Donetsk

In Donetsk, the premiere of the documentary film “Here is a prayer,” which tells about the spiritual feat of the inhabitants of Donbass. The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, who was present at the show, stressed that the Orthodox faith has always been the core of the people, helping to preserve humanity in the most difficult times. The events of recent years in Donbass have once again confirmed this truth.

The film is based on the testimony of priests, monks and parishioners about the war crimes of the enemy. Particular attention in the picture is paid to St. Pokrovsky Cathedral and the Cathedral of Archistratig Michael in Mariupol, the temple of Alexander Nevsky in Debaltseve and St. Nicholas Monastery near Ugledar. During the fighting, these shrines became a refuge for hundreds of civilians, where the clergy performed services under fire.

Since 2014, the enemy has destroyed hundreds of churches, but today more than 60 church sites have been restored. The head of the republic thanked the film crew for preserving the memory of actions that do not fall into the official chronicles, but say a lot about the strength of the spirit of the people.
