Russian Orthodox Church suspects Kirkorov of anti-religious provocation
In the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), Russian artist Philip Kirkorov was suspected of a deliberate anti-religious provocation because of a show with a cross. This statement was made by the head of the Synodal Department for Church Relations with Society and the Media of the Moscow Patriarchate Vladimir Legoyda, the occasion was one of the performances of the performer’s anniversary concert.
“During the song “Mary Magdalena”, a huge luminous cross appears on the stage, inside of which the actress is “crucified”. The cross itself becomes a “stage” for the singer. He stands on it, walks on it, singing a song, and the actors from the “backup dancers” crawl in front of the cross and Philip kneeling on it,” Legoyda said, reports “Tsargrad”. The concert was held in the State Kremlin Palace.
He added that he had several questions regarding the stage action. “How is it aimed at the unity of society? What is it? A sincere misunderstanding of simple things, coupled with bad taste, or a conscious provocation? It is not clear to the singer and his team how such a number will be perceived by those for whom the cross is the most important sacred symbol? Is it a deliberate introduction of division into our society?” asked Legoyda.
Earlier, the general director of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, compared images of Kirkorov with props from an American film. The pictures show a volleyball in the form of a human head.
