On November 7, a prayer service was held in the church of the Holy Great Martyr Theodore Tyron for the servicemen of the special rapid Reaction detachment (SOBR) of the Rosgvardiya of Sevastopol, who were sent on a business trip to the area of a special military operation.
The divine service was performed by the rector of the church, Archpriest Vasily Gumarov.
During the prayer service, prayers were offered to the Lord for the preservation of the life and health of the soldiers, the strengthening of their spiritual and physical strength, the safe performance of official duties and the return home to relatives and friends.
Prayer support for military personnel and their families is an important part of the Church's pastoral ministry. In times of trial, faith, hope, and the realization that those who are away from home are remembered and prayed for are especially important.
The Holy Great Martyr Theodore Tyron, in whose honor the temple was consecrated, was himself a soldier and remained faithful to Christ in the face of severe trials. His courage and firmness in faith have served as an example of Christian perseverance for many centuries.
The Church continues to offer prayers for the soldiers, their safe return and for peace.
