National Day of Prayer in Yasinyanska Hromada: A Testament to Unity and Remembrance

In the Yasinyanska Hromada, a significant event took place to mark the National Day of Prayer. This gathering united residents in a shared act of prayer for Ukraine and honored the memory of fallen Heroes. This event served as a powerful demonstration of community solidarity and unwavering faith during challenging times.

The event commenced with the hymn-prayer "Bozhe velykyi, yedynyi, nam Ukrayinu khyrany" ("God Almighty, the Only One, Protect Ukraine"). The community sang this hymn with sincere faith, hoping for peace and victory. Attendees then observed a moment of silence in honor of the fallen soldiers and collectively sang the National Anthem of Ukraine, reinforcing their national identity and patriotism.

The moving melody of "Plyne kacha" (a Ukrainian folk song that has become a symbol of mourning) resonated deeply. It served as a poignant reminder of those who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their country. The names of all the deceased and missing Heroes of the Yasinyanska Hromada were remembered during this solemn moment, ensuring their sacrifice is never forgotten.

Following the ceremony, the families of the defenders marched with flags to the memorial stele of the Heroes. There, they paid their respects, while residents and labor collectives laid flowers and lit lamps. This gesture of remembrance and appreciation highlighted the community’s deep connection to the fallen soldiers and their families.

The event concluded with a memorial service conducted by priests, uniting the community in a shared prayer for those who gave their lives for the independence of their homeland, Ukraine. This act of collective prayer provided comfort and strength to those present, reinforcing the community’s commitment to supporting one another.

February 24th is a date that is forever etched in our memories. Three years ago, the full-scale war began, testing our resilience, unity, and love for our homeland. This day serves as a constant reminder of the ongoing struggle for freedom and independence.

The Yasinyanska Hromada, like all of Ukraine, lives under conditions of trials, but not for a single day did we lose faith in victory. We support our defenders, help those in need, and remember every Hero who gave their life for our freedom. This commitment to support is a crucial aspect of the community’s character.

Today, we honor everyone fighting on the front lines and in the rear, those who sacrifice themselves for our future. We bow our heads before the memory of the fallen and thank everyone who brings the day of victory closer. This day of remembrance is a testament to their unwavering commitment to Ukraine.
