Residents of Serafimovich honored the memory of the dead Cossacks in the Russian Civil War

Exactly 21 years ago, the Cross of Reconciliation was installed on Mount Pyramida near Serafimovich in memory of all the killed Cossacks: white and red. Several generations of local residents thought about installing such a memorial sign. And so it happened on December 2, 2000. - On that day in the morning, Cossacks, residents of the city, nearby villages and farms gathered at the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Serafimovich, - recalls the chairman of the Council of Old Men of the Ust-Medveditsky Cossack Yurt Grigory Vypryashkin. - The procession to the place of the installation of the cross through the whole city was blessed and led by Metropolitan German of Volgograd and Kamyshinsky. He also served a requiem for the killed Cossacks and consecrated the cross. The Cossacks are still grateful to Vladyka German for the fact that he personally took part in these events. As the former Metropolitan of Volgograd and Kamyshinsky himself noted then, the road to this place on Mount Pyramid will never be forgotten. This has been the case for 21 years now. On solemn dates and weekdays, Cossacks come to the Cross of Reconciliation, young people lay fresh flowers, and participants of the White Doves of the Don festival release white doves into the blue sky. To prevent the Don land from knowing more civil strife and bloodshed, today the Ust-Medveditsa Cossacks have once again come to honor the memory of the fallen.
