Krasnoyarsk Metropolitan called the cross a symbol of absolute democracy

The worship cross began to be installed near the entrance to Krasnoyarsk. Both railway passengers and motorists will be able to see a 47-meter monument. Metropolitan of the Krasnoyarsk and Achinsky Panteleimon said that the cross is a memory of those who came to Siberia and he will certainly reflect demonic forces.

On February 5, workers began direct installation of the monument from alloy steel near the village of Drokino, the Krasnoyarsk diocese reports. Construction work is carried out without involving any state funds, exclusively on the donations of believers.

“Several dozens of specialists, professionals of their business, are a unique, one -of -a -kind project on the construction of the Poklonnaya Cross,” Alexander Bannikov commented on the director of the architectural bureau architectural bureau. - The construction of the cross was preceded by topographic survey of the terrain and a cycle of geological surveys. In grief and near it, we drilled several wells, made sure that the soil was suitable for further work. We have already successfully passed all the inspections of the corresponding supervisory structures. ”

Earlier, fears were expressed that construction work could affect the breeds from which the mountain is folded, and even the climate in Krasnoyarsk.

Metropolitan Panteleimon spoke about the significance of the Cross itself in the commentary of the TVK. He noted that the cross is a symbol of the Almighty, the entire cosmos, the resurrection of the human race and the key to the salvation of the human soul, weapons on the devil.

“The spiritual meaning is that the whole earth through the sinful affairs of people is covered with demonic actions, the power of energy, killing people through terrible diseases, deprivation of mind, demoniac,” the clergyman said.

Crosses were built on high platforms at the intersections of the roads “as the salvation and reinforcement of the human spirit and will”, put in memory of tragic events - as an example of such an event, the metropolitan cited the situation in Kosovo, Kulikovskaya, Borodino Battle.

“The memory of internodists, rebellions, uprisings, which brought a lot of grief through their madness and bloody events, was noted by the pacifying power of the cross, calling for society to unity, calling for humanity, and today it is carried out, to the pursuit of love, respect and perception of each other as personalities,” the archpastor said. “If you want, the cross is a symbol of absolute democracy to which humanity strives.”

He also recalled the civil war and the revolution, when "sons, fathers, mothers and daughters, being in an artificially created hostile state and hatred died."

“The cross that we erect is the memory of those who came to Siberia with the world, with a plow, with a sickle, who built houses, found a common language with local tribes, who strengthened Russia with their economy, who stood near Moscow and fell, who lay in the Krasnoyarsk land during civil events: red, white,” the metropolitan said. - The cross is a symbol of the invincibility of the human spirit. We believe that the erected cross will necessarily reflect demonic, demonic forces that work so actively in the 21st century, often through the fault of man himself. ”
