Description:
With the beginning of russian's armed aggression against Ukraine, the real heroism and self-sacrifice of our doctors, who saved the lives of military and civilian people, even at the cost of their own lives, were revealed.
In destroyed hospitals, in bomb shelters and basements, on the front line and even under occupation, they remained loyal to their Profession, their People, and their Motherland.
It is the readiness for self-sacrifice that is the main requirement of the profession of a doctor and a soldier, which we saw so vividly and tragically during the war. We all bow our heads to their holy feat of self-sacrifice.
At the same time, our medical profession is also close to the clergy, because there is no such doctor who, regardless of nationality and religion, or even being an atheist, would not pray to God to save the life of an injured or seriously ill patient.
Mentally, these prayers have been spoken in different languages since the time of Babylon, but the Almighty still left people with one common language, understood by everyone and everyone - music.
Therefore, "Musical Prayer for Ukrainian Doctors" is light and sad, exciting and life-affirming music created by Ukrainian and foreign composers for a spiritual appeal to God.
Such a tribute is a just thanks to the doctors who have already found themselves in the best of the worlds and are filled with faith in the almighty patronage of those who continue to selflessly save people's health and lives.
