Yesterday, almost the entire Russian-language Internet was bypassed by a photo of smiling clergy against the background of the temple. The full positive photo captures the vicar of the Volgograd diocese, Bishop Feoktist of Gorodishchensky, rector of the parish of Alexander Nevsky, archpriest Vyacheslav Zhebelev, chairman of the expert council on church art, architecture and restoration under the Council of the Volgograd Metropolitanate, Archpriest Sergiy Yermakov. According to Bishop Feoktist, the photo with smiling priests was a response to the criticism of ill-wishers on the Internet. Some users do not like the fact that the vicar's ministry, his work on building temples and nurturing the faithful are covered, in their opinion, excessively, which gives rise to critical posts on social networks that upset the spiritual children of the Vladyka. “I shared the grief of our attentive readers with the brethren. And we came up with an answer, ”Father Feoktist said. Indeed, sometimes a sincere, benevolent smile is more convincing than many words - which has been confirmed by thousands of shared selfies shared yesterday and today.
