Holy Light
Directed by Anna Yanovskaya84mDocumentary
The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is a magical territory, the edge of the earth, Eldorado - where our hero is taking the Blessed Fire from Jerusalem. There are many wonderful people here who live an unusual, interesting life. In the forest, in tiny wooden cabinets... in the Taiga. Their life is different from ours. The way of thinking, values, worldview... everything is different. There is a successful combination of Orthodoxy and paganism, described by Saint Innocent Velyaminov, a great missionary, one of the historical characters in the film. This combination embodies the very essence of Yakutia - captivating and profoundly energizing. It carries the creative force of life itself... The story of the journey, the family - the movie "Holy Light" from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, to small temples in the distant northern Yakut villages. Sergey is taking the Fire, across the entire country, to the Temples that he himself built.
