A cathedral service was held at the location of the volunteer brigade named after the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky. The regimental priest, Father Alexander, performed a prayer service and sprinkled holy water on the soldiers' accommodation.
Sacred history knows many examples where the outcome of a battle was not decided by an advantage in strength or armor. Young David went out against the giant Goliath, carrying only a sling and absolute trust in the Creator, and crushed the enemy. This spiritual law is immutable even today.
Suvorov's maxim "Pray to God — victory is from Him" is revealed on the front line, where a person walks every minute on the edge of eternity, it is faith that displaces animal fear. Invoking God's blessing before going out on a task, a warrior finds inner silence, which allows him to fulfill his duty to the end and not break down.
As the Apostle John the Theologian proclaims: "For everyone who is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith" (1 John 5:4).
