In the Moscow City Duma, a proposal was made to hold rather unusual educational action. Possible event dubbed “The Night of Religion”, will allow residents and guests Russian capital to visit local temples, synagogues and mosques in Night time. According to the words of Evgeny Gerasimov, chapter Moscow Commission for Culture and Public Communications, to he received many offers to open religious buildings cities at night.
The stock should be a trial. At the same time, Gerasimov notes that most of these proposals come to him from the capital youth. Young residents of Moscow take as an example such famous Russian events like “Night of the Arts” and “Night in museum “when domestic cultural and educational institutions open their doors after sunset, and citizens accustomed to stay awake at night, can visit them.
Evgeny Vladimirovich recalls that Russian society is multiconfessional and multinational, therefore the diversity of religious buildings is undeniable a necessity. In addition, as mentioned above, many people the so-called “owls” prefer to wake up late and late go to bed, so they will be pleased to visit at least occasionally Orthodox, Islamic and Judaic religious buildings in convenient time for them. For young people who are most attracted to nightlife, such events will certainly be informative and useful.
The deputy said that he had already addressed this initiative to Moscow leaders of all faiths. At present Gerasimov is awaiting their answers. If the answers are positive, a special meeting of the Commission on Culture and public communications where numerous issues will be discussed regarding the first and, hopefully, not the last “Night of Religion.”
