The Heart
2 Heart Festival is a charitable project launched and carried out by St
Elisabeth Convent (Minsk, Belarus) with the blessing of His Eminence Pavel,
Metropolitan of Minsk and Zaslavl. It is an annual event held in different
cities across Europe. The Festival aims to show the beauty and richness of the
Orthodox faith and culture and to strengthen ties among Christians.
The Heart
2 Heart Festival was launched in 2016. In the course of these three years, the

“There
are dozens of colourful and exciting events going on in London every day. What
can we add to this mix? We would like to make a feast for the people and to
show the beauty of living with God to them. Our contribution is in our hearts
and our eyes. If people can see the light, goodness, and warmth emanating
through them, our mission will be accomplished,” Nickolai Storozhenko, one of
the organisers of Heart 2 Heart Festival, says.
