In Vladimir, Orthodox Christians protest against holding a carnival on Trinity Day

Orthodox residents of Vladimir opposed the carnival, which is scheduled for June 11. On this day, the Orthodox Church celebrates the feast of the Trinity. The appeal sent by believers to IA REGNUM says: "On the holy day of Pentecost, when believers will go to the temple, in the center of Vladimir there will be some kind of action with dressing up. It is not clear why this "secular" event could not be held on Saturday, June 10 We consider it necessary to recall that in 2004 the carnival, scheduled for May 30, due to the celebration of the Holy Trinity Day, was postponed to June 12. Then the authorities explained that this was done out of respect for the feelings of believers. Orthodox feelings?
