Since then, as faith has ceased to be something marginal, semi-forbidden, dissident, it has ceased to be a faith. Every second, or even one and a half, suddenly turned out to be a passionate believer, with icons, candles,. Church holidays began to be widely publicized on state channels, the head of the country with his entourage began to be regularly baptized under cameras, the ministers of the cult received a certain degree of influence and half their kingdoms in the bargain. But who among these people sincerely, really observes the commandments?.

The prevailing manner today is portrayed by the Gazelle driver with a cross on his chest and a salon pasted over with icons, screaming with a ragged face clipping his car. "You, my, freak?!" My 16-year-old daughter, seeing in the Russian news the procession around The Cathedral of Christ the Savior, said: "It's a strange sight when a crowd of grown-up peasants in full earnestness circulates, sings something and calls it" the service of God ". "The lips of the baby, as they say.

Only their main sin is not in this. After finishing the masquerade and taking off their multimillion-dollar outfits, these uncles will settle on the merchases and drive to their country residences. And someone in this same city will go to sleep in the basement. And someone will finish the last piece of bread. And someone will bury their child, because he did not have enough money for a medicine. Forgive me for the tautology, I do not believe in such a "faith".

The temple should be in the shower, no matter how trite it may sound. Faith in thought, in actions, in way of life, in relation to people. And not in beautiful church vestments, golden vestments, and long, useless ceremonies. The legalization of Orthodoxy played a bad joke with him, vulgarizing the very concept of faith.

The Russian church was really strong in spirit, pure in thought, true in faith only when it was banned, when the churches were blown up, priests were repressed, when believing was fraught with. The more the church is given power, the less faith there is.

But I actually wanted to say something completely different:) In fact, I wanted to congratulate everyone for whom it really, truly, truly has meaning, with a bright Easter holiday!.
