In Volgograd prayers honored the memory of victims of road accidents
The service was attended by employees of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
On November 15, on the World Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Traffic Accidents, Metropolitan Theodore of Volgograd and Kamyshin held a Divine Liturgy and a prayer service for road users in the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. As the ruling bishop noted, most of the tragedies on the roads are due to internal incontinence, pride and disrespect for other drivers.
According to him, the dead will not be returned, but you can pray for the repose of their souls. Within the framework of the memorable date, secular actions were also held in the region to draw public attention to the problem of security.
Statistics remain disappointing: since the beginning of the year in accidents in the region killed more than 190 people, more than 2 thousand were injured. The purpose of the events is to remind that human life is invaluable, and responsible behavior on the road is the responsibility of everyone.
