Boyarynya Morozova's Chapel in Borovsk
The memorial chapel "In the name of the holy martyrs and confessors Theodora (Boyarynya Theodosia Morozova), Princess Evdokia (Urusova), and others like them who suffered for their ancient piety in the 17th century in the city of Borovsk" was built in 2005.
Borovsk is a city with historically strong Old Believer traditions, and the construction of a chapel in memory of Boyarynya Morozova and Princess Urusova is not simply a tribute to historical memory, but also a sincere desire of the townspeople to honor their memory and remind everyone of the tragic schism in Russian Orthodoxy.
The video discusses the schism in the Russian Orthodox Church, which has still not been overcome. It is suggested that society must mature spiritually to overcome this schism. It emphasizes that Russia has a mission to be the "ark of humanity," where all institutions work for holiness. The speaker believes that Rus' will become Holy because God is relentless in his work of salvation. It is noted that icons, which renew themselves, are evidence of the enlightenment of Rus'. The procession has a significance whose fullness we do not know, but the important thing is that it occurs. It is said that the place where the conversation takes place, and everything in life, is not accidental. Finally, the importance of children and healthcare as areas that shape the future and the present is discussed, as well as the role of the church in spirituality. The importance of moderation in icons, such as the "Trinity" icon, is mentioned. Finally, the conversation discusses the fact that this very spot was the site of the Pioneer House where Tsiolkovsky taught.
