The Orthodox newspaper “Prikhod” is not like everything you have read before, its task is to surprise and excite the spirit. The issues raised in it are intended to support a healthy discussion around the most important issues of the life of the Church, and not to stigmatize and trampl. The newspaper will be interesting both for those taking the first steps in the Church or already strong parishioners, and for people who have God in their souls. Among the permanent headings of the “coming” “Opinions”, “New Testament”, “Missionary school” and “Culture” The Christmas issue of the newspaper “Prikhod” is opened by Professor Andrei Zubov with a word about the importance of developing parish life, as well as a fragment from the book by Georgy Mitrofanov on the compromise of the Church with the authorities. We publish a lecture on the Orthodox practice of communion, and in the calendar section we tell about the history of the celebration of Baptism . In our library, we recommend reading a chapter from Clive Lewis' book on prayer. Among the literary pearls of this issue is the story of Leonid Andreev, the story of the creation of a Christmas tree song, real children's prose and even a Catholic reading of the tale of the Snow Queen.
