context_page_description: The Orthodox International Youth Festival «Bratya» is an annual Russian Orthodox youth festival organized by a group of activists from Mozhaysk, Russia, with the support of various Eastern Orthodox communities, public organizations and individuals. Although the festival is declared as international, traditionally it unites youth of the former USSR. The Festival differs with warm and friendly atmosphere.
  The festival is based on complementary components: stage performances; education; informal communication both with the clergy and with each other. Within the framework of the festival educational seminars, thematic discussions with priests, excursions, balls, sports competitions, various master classes, creative performances of Orthodox youth groups and performers of different directions are held.
  The festival «Bratya» was first held in July 2005 and since are being held every summer. Since 2008, the winter session of festival "Bratya", also called "Bratya in Winter" was added, and is held annually on February. The summer festival is held as an open-air tent camp event, winter one is usually based in hotels and less populous.
context_section_description: Volunteers come first to the festival to prepare the surrounding area for the festival and set up temporary buildings and tents necessary for it.
  Starting in 2010, the arrival of the majority of participants at the summer festival begins on Saturday from noon. On this day, they are usually met at the station, train or bus station by volunteers who help them get to the festival field. For this most often hired buses. Participants who arrive before or after the date of official arrival will travel independently. For those who will come by themselves a location map is attached on festival website
  Arriving at the festival, participants come to the registration tent, where they receive badges of the festival participant with the name and city where the person came from. After that, in agreement with the volunteers, they set up their tents in the field reserved for them. On the same day, after the arrival of the main part of the sector, volunteers lead the game to meet the participants of the sector.
  At about 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm on the same day, the first concert performance begins. Itis the "presentation of cities" (Russian: Представление городов), where participants from one place get together and perform a stage presentation of their city, town or region in an arbitrary creative form, usually in the form of kapustnik. The duration of one speech should not exceed 5 minutes. The submission of cities first appeared at the 2007 summer festival instead of the grand opening of the festival, which was postponed to the evening following the arrival of the day. Due to the smaller number of participants and festival days, the winter festival usually dispenses with the representation of cities.
  The next morning after the arrival is a prayer service for receiving a petition and for all the blessings of God, and in the evening of the same day, at about 8:00 pm, the grand opening of the festival begins, to which representatives of local authorities are traditionally invited. The first song that sounds at this concert is the festival anthem in the form of a song, the peculiarity of which is that in one way or another the word "brothers" is played up in it. The hymn is composed only for the summer festival, so the number of hymns coincides with the age of the festival.
