We are members of Tver Orthodox Youth Club “Seyatel” (The Sower) blessed by Victor, the archbishop of Tver and Kashin in 2003. At that time it was the only orthodox society in the region and nowadays it is the oldest orthodox club of the whole Tver region.
We hope young people from other regions will support and develop this idea. All these things are closely connected with growing interest to cultural tourism and pilgrimage. Our club has already visited many places in and outside the region. We arein touch with many organizations and people. One can choose different way of pilgrimage: by coach, by bike, on foot and so on. With great interest our club visits both large monasteries in Moscow and small distant Tver villages. Orthodox young people have always been interested in villages. When we come there, we try not just have a look at the c We had been there several times before as the village is near Chernogubovo where the church dedicated to the Virgin is situated and its young active priest is our friend We don’t remember who was the first to suggest reviving spiritual life in the village by restoring the church. It must be God’s will. And once we came to Prechisty Bor with our instruments.
We didn’t have any ambitious plans, we just wanted the inhabitants of the village to feel happy. And we are still eager to do them good. Young people who are not well-off yet can’t spend much money on the restoration. So we hope for people who are not indifferent and we try to do our best. All the work we do is absolutely unpaid. We just want the church to be restored. We aren’t going to get any profit, we build the church not for ourselves,we don’t waste money that people sacrifice. It is spent only on the church. We work for the sake of work that does us good and is guided by our priest. We are always ready to tell you the details, we want you to take part in the work if you wish. It’ll be wonderful when the destroyed church has white walls, prays are heard inside and people have a chance to come there. For this purpose we are ready to spend our time and money. We have a team that is interested in the work and want to be useful. And they are not only young people…We are friends, we writepoems, shoot films, sing songs, take pert in meetings and festivals where we speak about the main thing we have – our church that will live. We are interested in it and that’s why our burden doesn’t seem so heavy. Help us any ways you can, with your good attitude or just say “God bless you” and it will be enough. Thank you for coming to our site. We hope it’ll be interesting and useful for you.
