On March 10, 2026, students from the Faculty of Engineering and Pedagogy spent a day at the All Saints Memorial Church as part of their elective course, "Fundamentals of Spiritual and Moral Culture and Patriotism." Deputy Dean for Ideological and Educational Work Yulia Susha visited the memorial church along with first-year study groups. This event provided an excellent opportunity for young people to delve deeper into spiritual culture.
For reference: the concept for the memorial church was based on a millennia-old culture of prayerful remembrance that honors saints and prays for fallen soldiers, defenders of the Fatherland, victims of war, innocent victims of difficult times, and those who perished in man-made, natural, and man-made disasters.
The concept of the memorial church is embodied in its architectural design, as well as its three church spaces and memorial altar area, which houses the crypt and the permanent exhibition "Museum of Memory."
The tour, organized by the staff of the memorial church, provided students with a unique opportunity to learn about the history and architectural features of this important religious structure. Guides introduced participants to the fundamental aspects of the Orthodox faith. During the tour, students also had the opportunity to light candles, a ritual that allowed them to honor the memory of the saints.
After the tour, the students visited the museum located on the church grounds. Here, they viewed exhibits dedicated to the history of Orthodoxy, traditions, and art. The museum was a logical continuation of the tour, deepening the students' knowledge of the cultural heritage of their homeland.
The students shared their impressions of the tour. Some noted, "It was an amazing feeling to be in such a peaceful place. We felt how important spiritual culture is in our lives. The peaceful atmosphere that reigns in the church allows us to reflect on our values and priorities."
The event enriched the students with new knowledge and strengthened the spiritual and moral foundations established by their families.
