The 'Candle of Remembrance' at the mass grave of Soviet soldiers and partisans on Internatsionalnaya Street was lit by Beshenkovichi residents at dawn today.
With a welcoming address to the attendees, the head of the district deputy corps Gennady Shvedov and the first secretary of the district committee of the BRSM Elena Babaren spoke.
The dean of the churches of the Beshenkovichi district, Archpriest Nikolai Kisel, served a memorial service for those who died during the Great Patriotic War.
The memory of those who fought for our peaceful today was honored with a minute of silence... Flowers were laid at the foot of the obelisk...
Let the flame of the candle, as a symbol of faith,
Burn for those who were devoted beyond measure,
Who laid down their lives for earthly peace…
Let's light a candle for their eternal rest…
