An Orthodox chapel will be built on the site where an aircraft crashed and killed 47 outside Petrozavodsk.
I hope you don't mind my asking if this is a common way among the Eastern Orthodox churches to commemorate sites where tragedies took place?
Authorities in the Republic of Karelia have decided to build a chapel at the site of the crash with the Russian Tu-134 on 20 June, RIA Novosti reports. The aircraft, which was on its way from Moscow, crashed on a highway near the local airport in Petrozavodsk, Republic of Karelia, and killed 47 of the 52 passengers.
Seems like an appropriate memorial, indeed.
