"The road to the sacred places" is more than a thousand kilometers long. For the 29th time the International Scientific and Educational Expedition will depart from Minsk to the capital of the Belarusian Written Language Day.

A prayer service for the participants ended in the Holy Spirit Cathedral. Priests, writers, scientists and actors will walk along the landmark points in the history of Belarus in three dioceses: Minsk, Turov and Gomel. They will carry the Holy Fire from the Holy Sepulchre and the miracle-working Zagorje-Stolovich Icon of the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God.

The procession will end on September 4 in Dobrush, the town that will host the Days of the Written Language Day in 2022. There, the delegation will hold a festive service and traditionally will plant the Prayer Garden. Belarus 3 TV channel will broadcast a special program and live broadcast of the holiday's main events.
