Russian Orthodox Church- Field Trip to Victory Park
On December 3rd 2015, the whole fourth grade, went on a field trip to Victory park. We got to see 3 different religions; The three were: The Mosque, the Russian Orthodox Church and the synagogue. I'm going to talk about The Russian Orthodox Church. The Russian Orthodox church believed that Jesus, God, and The Holy Ghost, were all one person. The believed that when Jesus was on the earth, we was all of the three people. In the Church, it was pretty small, but it had lots of pictures of Jesus Christ and some of his apostles. Jesus Christ had 12 apostles. In the church, they had an icon wall with all of Jesus' apostles and some of the warriors in The church. One of the warriors was St. George. There was a dragon in a kingdom and St. George killed the dragon, because the dragon would kidnap children and the Dragon was about to kidnap the King's and Queen's daughter. On the icon wall had a picture of St. George with a spear and a sword to represent that he was a great warrior! The Russian Orthodox people would light candles for prayer and also prayers for relatives that have died. How the people would pray at home and sometimes at the church is they would put their thumb, middle finger, and pointer finger together and their ring finger and pinky and bend them down and they would put the fingers up on their forehead to represent the father, and then bring it down to their chest and say son, and then they would move the finger to their left then right shoulder and say Holy Ghost, Amen. One of the other things that we recognized, is that their were only to small benches and there were no seats and the reason why is; they believed that people would have to make a small sacrifice of praying when they are standing and kneeling down on their knees to pray instead of praying while sitting down. There was also a picture of Jesus Christ holding a big book, and this book was called The Book Of Life. When you are baptized in water, your name is recorded in a book. If you keep his commandments, your name will be in the book for eternity, but if you don't keep his commandments, your name will be erased from the book. The symbol of The Russian Orthodox Church church is the cross. The reason is; that
they believe that Jesus died on a cross, because he loved us.

This helped mt learning by to understand other people's faiths and religions. This field trip showed me that not everyone is the same. It showed me that everyone believes something else and doesn't always do the same or doesn't value that same thing as we do. The Russian Orthodox Church is in the Christian faith. I wrote about what some of the things that they believe and their symbol too. I also talk about the book that they read and what they believe is to be true! I really enjoyed this trip. I got to even see their church!We also learned that we had to wear scarfs over our heads to show love and faith to Jesus. I made lots of connections to my own faith too, like when they are baptized, they are a baby. In my faith, we are baptized when we are 8 or older! WE also go to church on Sundays as well. I also made some differences. Like, they believe that The Book Of Life is the right book, I believe that We have the Saint James Holy Bible and The Book Of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants. Also, they read the book at church, were we can read it at home too or at night. What a fun time I had!
