Man is a being who can find a way to create something soul-beneficial using various methods. It is this time, under the pandemic (coronavirus, that confirms this noble thought.
Although for objective reasons, we have been under a ban on public gatherings for a long time, the wish of Popadija Izvorinka Ε½ariΔ was to continue working with children over the Internet. In this way, we tried to fill our homes and our children's page with beautiful works. Awaiting the celebration of the holiday of Flowers, as well as the happiest holiday of Christ's Resurrection, a number of our children were diligent and creative in their homes.
Using the Orthodox coloring book "Holy Serbs", published by our Diocesan Department of Education, in a very creative way, our children had the task to paint a drawing of two saints, and at the same time to write a few sentences from their lives. We thank the parents and children who participated in the creative workshop: Emilia and Eni Stojancevic, Kristina Zdralo, Andreja and Maja Nedic, Andrija Polic, Jovan, and Gavrilo Zaric. Jovan and Gavrilo worked in a larger format with the help of their father Dragan Ε½ariΔ. The drawings on the wooden base were prepared by father Dragan, while the boys painted in segments for a few days.
In the meantime, there was talk about how to make a background on the drawings. We had two options: with gilding or with Byzantine-blue color. It was wonderful to see the boys search the lives of the saints in books but also on the computer to view the icons and frescoes of the saints painted with different techniques.
The boys mentioned saints that we know and celebrate from our Serbian Orthodox family. They mentioned Saint Basil the Wonderworker of Ostrog, who lived on the earth several centuries ago, who still performs many miracles today.
Since children love art workshops, we plan to make one small exhibition of works online for the end of the school year at the end of May. We use this opportunity to thank our Most Reverend Bishop Irinej for his support, the Department of Education for the beautifully prepared coloring book, which gave us the incentive to share and bring some happiness to Christian souls with the talents and gifts we received from the Lord.
Christ is Risen - Truly He is Risen!
First-enthroned of the apostles, teachers of the universe: Entreat the Master of all to grant peace to the world, and to our souls great mercy!
O Lord, You have taken up to eternal rest and to the enjoyment of Your blessings the two divinely-inspired preachers, the leaders of the Apostles, for You have accepted their labors and deaths as a sweet-smelling sacrifice, for You alone know what lies in the hearts of men.
Today Christ the Rock glorifies with highest honor The rock of Faith and leader of the Apostles, Together with Paul and the company of the twelve, Whose memory we celebrate with eagerness of faith, Giving glory to the one who gave glory to them!
