While preparing for the fiftieth anniversary of the Museum of the History of Cosmonautics in Kaluga its staff unearthed interesting and never before seen photographs.
The official visit
Kaluga was the third city in Russia that Gagarin visited after his trip to space.
The important thing is that God saw him in space!
School children and elderly people often asked Gagarin whether he had seen God in space.
Wondrous things before us
Gagarin laid the foundation stone for the Museum of the History of Cosmonautics in Kaluga and initiated the rebuilding of the church of Christ the Saviour.
May God bless you!
Unfortunately, the relatives of the grandmother who made the sign of the cross over Urii Alexeevich were never found.
Translated from the Russian by Maria Nekipelov
Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
