Flame of the Family Hearth from the RUSSIA EXPO was brought to Sakhalin Island
The flame
was brought to the eastern borders of Russia, to Sakhalin, in the most
difficult conditions - through a snow cyclone that hit the island. To keep the
flame alive, members of the large Tishelovich family "refueled" the
lamp several times.
The fire of
the All-Russian Family Hearth, lit on January 24 at the RUSSIA EXPO as part of
the Dear - Loved Ones forum, continues to spread throughout the regions of our
country.
"We
are very grateful that we were entrusted with such an important mission - to
represent the region at the All-Russian forum. We took it with all the
responsibility, participated in all the events, and fulfilled the most
important task - we brought the flame safe and sound," emphasized the
mother of many children Olesya Tishelovich.
The flame
was brought to Stavropol by a large Cossack family of Alexander and Olga
Reshetnyak, which represented the region at the forum and was among the winners
of the All-Russian contest Family of the Year. The regional hearth was placed
in the historical building of the registry office in the center of Stavropol,
and the first couples of newlyweds have already included its visit in their
wedding programs. In addition, according to the decision of the head of the
region, the fire will be transferred to all registry offices in the territory
of the region.
In the
Ulyanovsk region, the lighting of the regional family hearth from the delivered
flame took place directly during the opening ceremony of the Year of the
Family. The Fakhrutdinov family brought the flame here from Kazan, and in
Ulyanovsk the baton was passed on to the residents of Mordovia.
The
lighting of the hearth in the Palace of Marriage in Voronezh was just as
festive. Six married couples of teachers from Voronezh and districts of the Voronezh
region, including Roman and Daria Babaevs, who represented the region at the
International RUSSIA EXPO, were the guests of the solemn event timed to
coincide with the opening of the Year of the Family in the region. Throughout
the coming year, the fire of the hearth will accompany official marriage
registration ceremonies.
For Yekaterinburg, the delivery coincided with the opening of the city's first family Multifunctional Center for State and Municipal Services (MFC). Its appearance is expected to make a significant contribution to strengthening the institution of the family in the region, and it was a logical decision to place the hearth on its territory.
Meanwhile,
in Yaroslavl, the family hearth will be located in the building of the
Assumption Cathedral. It was brought here by Elisey and Anastasia Karpovs, who
had previously performed a wedding based on Yaroslavl folk traditions at the
RUSSIA EXPO. They were accompanied on their trip around the region by activists
of young families' clubs.
Let us
remind you that the first to receive the fire were the regions of the Far East.
On January 25, it arrived on the Ural land, in the Orenburg region. On the same
day the flame of the main Family Hearth was delivered to Crimea - it was
brought by the Kuznetsov family from the city of Saki, representing a famous
dynasty, the total teaching experience of which exceeds 200 years. From Crimea,
the fragments of fire went to Sevastopol and Krasnodar region. They were also
delivered by car to new regions, including Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the
DPR and LPR.
The
All-Russian Family Hearth is a heart-shaped installation in front of which a
fire was lit from the Holy Trinity Monastery on January 24. The All-Russian
Family Forum Dear - Loved Ones opened the Year of the Family in Russia,
announced on the basis of the decree of President Vladimir Putin. The forum
events are aimed at uniting dynasties from all over the country, dialog of
generations and co-creation of children and adults.
