3. Работа с текстом “Orthodox Religion in modern Russia”

T.: Now we’ll work at the text “Orthodox Religion in Modern Russia”. The text is on your desks.

 Task 1 Read the text and choose the appropriate title for each paragraph.

                                        Orthodox Religion in Modern Russia.  

Russian Orthodox Christianity has been the largest religion in Russia since it was adopted in the 9th century AD and is confessed by about 75% of Russians. The official church in the Russian Federation is Russian Orthodox Church of Moscow Eparchy, which is supported by the official government.

                                                                                                                                                                         The rebirth of religion and religious traditions began not long ago, in 1970s. Since then the state has returned thousands of churches and temples as well as icons and other religious objects appropriated during the Soviet period to their respective communities. Monasteries and religious schools and training centers have sprung up or reopened, and the number of religious practitioners has more than doubled since the 1970s.

Even though most Russians identify themselves as Orthodox Christians, not a big percent of citizens live an active religious life but the observance of the main Orthodox holidays is increasing. The statistic research shows that only 3, 6% visit church once a week. One fifth of the respondents go to church on religious holidays. Women tend to visit church twice as much as men and elderly people do this more often than the youth. The majority of church goers are elderly people and women. 

                                                                                                                                                                                  Some features that can be characteristic of Russian Orthodoxies are that they mostly go to church on religious holidays or to "light a candle" and remember a close person who is dead. Adults are aware of religious postulates and read the Bible themselves and to their children. They are not used to discussing their faith openly in public or with other people. Most people address to the God asking for  help at some difficult situations or with health problems. It is quite rare that children are taught to pray in the family. Some families follow the religious rules. Many people fast due to the church requirements and for keeping in a good physical and spiritual shape. Most people baptize children and order services for the dead. Russians normally show tolerance and respect to other religious denominations. Many educated people know world history, culture and origin of different religions.                                                                                 

 It can be said for sure that nowadays religious culture and traditions are becoming more and more popular among children and young people. There are a lot of Sunday schools and other Orthodox centers where younger generation get acquainted with Orthodox religion, its saints and history, traditions, rituals and culture.
