Military personnel , government officials and local residents gathered to see the lighting for the morning service. After the liturgy, the patriarch addressed the audience with a speech. I want to say today that other times have different opportunities, but at the same time there is an increased responsibility before the church, facing both the authorities and all the people. And i want to say again, this is a responsibility. It somehow feels especially special here in front of this open Pacific Ocean with all the problems and dangers that this region brings. Therefore, let our prayers be with those who first of all defend our homeland. As part of his visit to kamchatka, the patriarch illuminated the temple at the Pacific Fleet base in vilyuchinsk, and took part in the ceremony of laying the Foundation Stone of the church of Dmitry Donskoy on the territory of a military unit, which is being built in memory of the heroes of a special military operation.
