Carnations in hands. File photoMOSCOW, Jan 15Archpriest Kirill Kaleda, rector of the Church of the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia at the Butovo training ground, a member of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society and human rights, said RIA Novosti. Previously, the Omsk ritual agency Heritage proposed customers a new service — to fill the ashes of a deceased person in firecrackers and shoot them into the sky. The company explained that they were the first to offer such a service in Siberia, but they borrowed the idea from foreign colleagues who have been practicing such burial for a long time. «This does not fit in with the Orthodox tradition and the practice adopted in Russia, because the Orthodox tradition is still based on that man was created from the earth, «from the dust of the earth». The Orthodox tradition is burial in the earth. If you can still come to terms with burning under some circumstances, with cremation, then from my point of view what is now proposed is blasphemy » , — Kaleda believes. The priest noted that the church believes in the transfiguration of the human body, on the day of the general resurrection the dead will be resurrected, therefore, from the point of view of Orthodox Christians, such a burial is blasphemy. «From my point of view, this is blasphemous. The body is not just like that, it is a gift of God that was given to a person. To abuse it like that is blasphemy,» he concluded.
