☦️ On April 16, the representatives of the Russian Embassy in South Africa and Russian compatriots took part in the Orthodox Easter celebration organized by the St. Sergius Russian Orthodox Church in Johannesburg.

Easter service was held followed by a children’s concert. The event was attended by Russian cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, who shared his experience of spaceflights and presented a book of his own authorship to the church.
