This important event in their life was preceded by catechetical training: the boys and girls listened to the instructions of the assistant to the dean of the Bor district, the spiritual father of the Bor Orthodox gymnasium, Priest Oleg Konovalov. Then, at the Divine Liturgy, they confessed for the first time, and then received Communion. At the end of the service for the first time confessing children and their parents, a holiday was arranged with a common tea party and a sweet table. Each of the participants received gifts and spiritual literature for the youngest readers as a keepsake.
