Perm Oilmen Deliver Blessed Water to Remote Villages

Thanks to the «Epiphany Water» campaign, over ten thousand residents of Perm Krai were able to participate in prayer services and receive blessed water in honor of the Orthodox holiday. The blessing of the water and the holding of prayer services involved the dean of churches in the Chernushinsky District, Hieromonk Ilya (Volodin), and Protopriest Alexey Kursanin, rector of the parish of the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in the village of Uinskoye. The initiative was implemented with the blessing of Metropolitan Methodius of Perm and Kungur.

The charity event has been held since 2011, and this time it covered more than ten settlements in the Chernushinsky and Uinsky Districts. A tank with blessed water visited the villages of Ananyino, Lom, Kurmakash, Mitrokhi, Bolshaya As, and Krasnogorka, as well as the settlements of Kalinovka, Demenevo, Trun, and Pavlovka. Residents of Chernushka were also able to collect Epiphany water.

The company LUKOIL annually supports spiritual projects, providing assistance in the construction and reconstruction of churches and mosques, as well as organizing festivals, exhibitions, and concerts aimed at spiritual development and enlightenment.
