The Secrets of the Orthodox Book

We invite kids, their parents and teachers to get acquainted with an Orthodox book, its history, peculiarities of creation and decorating.

A good book enlightens minds and souls, and it means it is a priceless treasure for a person. Young museum visitors will realize it with the help of museum exhibits. They’ll see how respectfully our ancestors created books.

At the lessons kids will learn from which materials books were created and the forms of ancient books, who was in the origins of the Slavic writing spread and about what the first handwritten books were. And creative and interesting tasks will help acquire new knowledge.

Lessons will be interesting to Sunday school pupils and everybody interested in this topic.

In order to attend lessons, it’s necessary to register in advance.
