The All-Russia Orthodox Children Celebration "Blagostina"

22 may - 1 june, 2014, Uglich


"Blagostina" is the only children educational and creative charity decade in Russia.

It is organized under the slogan "To the world of childhood – love and mercy!"

The programme of the decade naturally embraces orthodox holidays (The Day of Slavic Writing and Culture, the Day of Tsarevich Dimitry) and secular celebrations (The Last Bell, The International Day of Children Protection, the All-Russia Day of libraries).

"Blagostina" is the main children Orthodox celebration, it has got the blessing of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II.

The Saint right-believing tsarevich (the son of tar) Dimitry, the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible has tragically died in Uglich on May 15 (on May 28 by new calendar) in 1591 and was canonized. In Russian Orthodox Church, he is the only holy child – the heaven patron of all children. Pilgrims from all over Russia come to ancient Uglich to venerate the relics of the "murdered prince".

The celebration of the Day of Tsarevich Dimitry in Uglich was revived in 1997.
