"This building in the past was the Holy Trinity Cathedral. Services must be held there but not other events. We, Orthodox Christians, cannot allow ourselves to go to the town palace of culture where the stage is the sanctuary of the Cathedral. We had warned our teachers but we were confronted with the accomplished fact," said the choir soloists.
They have written letters to the president of the Russian
Federation Vladimir Putin, the head of the government
Dmitry Medvedev, the governor of the region Sergei Mitin,
the head of Borovichi Boris Preobrazhensky and the head of
the district Marina Kostiukhina. They have only one
request—to move the event to any other venue. They
have collected over ten signatures of their peers and hope
for a positive resolution. It should be added that all
these girls have attended the local Sunday school for
several years, some of them are preparing to enter the
theological seminary and dream of becoming
choirmasters.
