The service was led by the rector of the parish, Archpriest Vadim Zakrevsky. During his sermon on this day, Father Vadim emphasized the concept of freedom and what freedom means for a person in general, and especially for an Orthodox Christian. Drawing upon the liturgical books and the understanding of the Holy Fathers, he gave a clear answer: true freedom is possible only when a person abides in the Truth. And for an Orthodox Christian, the Truth is God Himself. Therefore, when a person abides with God, he abides in the Truth, and no external circumstances are fearful to him any longer: neither oppression from authorities, nor threats, nor other trials, because the Lord strengthens a person and grants him genuine spiritual freedom.
