Orthodox believers observe Pure Thursday

5 апреля 2018
For the Orthodox, Pure Thursday is one of the most important days of Passion Week (the last week before Easter)

On this day, believers remember the Last Supper, at which Christ washed his disciples' feet as a sign of love and humility. This is the day of spiritual purification and the beginning of active preparation for the Bright Christ's Resurrection. Today in the central church of Minsk, the Holy Spirit Cathedral, Metropolitan of Minsk and Zaslavl, the High Priest of All Belarus Pavel washed the feet of 12 Belarusian priests.
