Church to create video guide to monasteries for the deaf
Shooting has already begun in Moscow’s Zachatevsky Convent on the project which will present basic information on the history, sacred objects, and sites of the capital’s many monasteries in sign language, as part of a video guide for the deaf and hearing impaired.
Rector of the Novokosino church Archpriest Michael Zazvonov said that the video guide is designed to help the deaf partake more fully of the life of the Church by teaching them about the history of the Church and the capital.
The center for working with the deaf and hearing-impaired in the Church of All Saints Who Have Shone Forth in the Russian Land began its work in October 2015. To date, the community of deaf and hearing-impaired people numbers about 60 people. There are weekly Divine Liturgies in the church with sign language translation, after which there is a Sunday school class for the deaf. Excursions and pilgrimages are also periodically organized. The church also holds regular courses for learning Russian sign language. In 2016, the same parish also launched the “Desnitsa (Right Hand)” Orthodox YouTube channel.
