"Free Hugs" to Occur at Celebration in Moscow Today

A celebration titled "Davaite Obnimat'sya!" ("Let's Hug!") will assemble today, November 28, at Pushkin Square in Moscow, according to the Voices from Russia website.

It will be part of a series of such actions around the world, designed to give a warm greeting to people on the street, organizers of the rally said.

Organizers believe that 100 to 150 people will take part in the Moscow celebration.

This celebration reminds me of the "Christ is in Our Midst" portion of the Sunday church services. Some churches do encourage hugging by parishioners at that time, because it portrays how loving Christ is toward mankind. We do need more love -- and less hate -- in our society today. Do you agree with me? Let us know how you feel by posting a comment....
