Memories of War

When the war began, the future metropolitan was 10 years old. He said that he remembers the sounds of exploding bombs well. Yaroslavl was not occupied, but was subjected to constant bombing.

“I remember this glow from exploding bombs, and I pressed myself to my mother’s chest and thought that she could die from this, and I would be left alone. <…> Thank God, my parents were not physically harmed, but it was a difficult time, hungry, our family was literally begging. And now, perhaps, it will be unusual to hear, we went to the neighbors to collect cleaning, there was nothing to eat. And I also remember very clearly how one night I woke up from some noise, also like some kind of explosions, to which I had already become accustomed. “My mother tells me: ‘The war is over!’” Yuvenaly said.

The Metropolitan admitted that it was on that day that he first heard local fireworks. Passers-by congratulated him on the end of the Great Patriotic War.

Restoration of temples

If we compare the beginning and the end in this way, it is a brilliant situation, but I saw that, despite all our efforts, we are not able to fully restore the destroyed shrines, our churches that stand on ruins, ancient churches,” the Metropolitan noted.

Carier start

Yuvenaly recalls that when his ministry had just begun, his mentors played an important role in his destiny. With special warmth, he spoke about Vladyka Nikodim, who was the secretary of Vladyka Demetrius of Yaroslavl.

His way of life, his calling influenced me very much. And throughout my life he was both my mentor and teacher.

Juvenaly.

Following his example, the future metropolitan wanted to become rector in the Yaroslavl region. But after the third year of the academy, he was transferred to distance learning at the Moscow Academy. He became a referent for the department of external church relations, so there could be no talk of any rural parish near Yaroslavl. Then he was sent to Berlin as editor of the magazine “Voice of Orthodoxy”, and then transferred to Jerusalem.
