Vladikavkaz, August 26, 2010 - Interfax
A commemorative cross will be erected at the yard of the destroyed school in Beslan on September 2, and later an Orthodox church will be built here to commemorate victims of the terrorist act, the local administration told Interfax on Thursday.
This year the schedule of mourning events will include a concert-requiem entitled Memory of the Heart, suggested by the Mothers of Beslan committee.
Mourning events will start on September 1 at 9:15 a.m.,
when the school bell will ring and church bells toll to
mark the first terrorists' shot and seige of the
school.
All will be able to lay flowers and candles at the ruins
of School №1, where mournful music will play three days
without ceasing.
A terrorist group seized school №1 on September 1, 2004. Over 1200 people including schoolchildren, their parents and teachers were taken hostage. They were kept in a gym filled with explosives.
The terrorist act killed 330 people including 180 children. More people died in following years from injuries received during the siege.
