Dmitry Roshchin is the son of the playwright Mikhail Roshchin and the popular Soviet actress Ekaterina Vasilyeva. The man was born in 1973, and at the moment he is 45 years old. He graduated from VGIK, but connected his life not with art, but with the church. Now Dmitry Roshchin is an archpriest and rector of the Church of St. Nicholas on the Three Mountains. We will tell about the fate of the man in detail in our article.
Dmitry Mikhailovich Roshchin
After Mikhail received his higher education, he dreamed of working as a director. However, in just a few days, drastic changes took place in his life. And for 20 years now, the man, instead of directing, has been serving in the Church.
According to Dmitry Roshchin himself, 1995 was a turning point in his life. It was then that he decided to turn to faith. At that time, he was barely 22 years old. The young man was going to move to a permanent place of residence in the northern capital - St. Petersburg, and planned to connect his life with cinema, directing and St. Petersburg bohemia.
Swift Insight
But before leaving Roshchin camefor advice to V. Volgin. He, in turn, advised Mikhail to leave the city for a short time in order to escape from the hustle and bustle and concentrate.
And it was here, in the village, that Dmitry had a miraculous and swift upheaval. A 100% certainty came to the man that God exists and he is here. Then it became clear to Roshchin that he could not become a director, he needed to serve the Church and be a priest. However, it is worth noting, as Roshchin himself claims, at first he was tormented by doubts: he thought which of him was a shepherd and how he should correctly address God.
Do not forget that around the same time, the famous Russian actress Elena Korikova, who was a classmate of Dmitry, had a son, Arseniy (Dmitry Roschin is the guy's father). Then, having learned about the girl's pregnancy, Roshchin hurried to make her a marriage proposal. But Ekaterina Sergeevna Vasilyeva (Dmitry's mother) intervened in the situation, and the young people broke up without legitimizing the relationship. At the moment, Arseniy is 25 years old, he is engaged in programming, and also studies computer technologies. Arseniy never spoke with his father.
Dmitry Roshchin - Ekaterina Vasilyeva's son
The moment came when Michael decided that he would become a priest. Dmitry's parents - Ekaterina Vasilyeva and Mikhail Roshchin - reacted favorably to this news. Ekaterina Sergeevna herself came to faith thanks to Dmitry. It is known that she left the cinema and now works as a treasurer in the temple where her son serves.
True, initially the father was quite far fromChurch, despite the fact that he periodically confessed, took communion, and was also fond of reading the Gospel and prayers.
Then Dmitry Roshchin took the priesthood and married a woman named Lyubov, the daughter of a popular public figure and sculptor Vyacheslav Klykov. Now the couple has five children - Praskovya, Agafya, Fedor, Dmitry, Seraphim.
Roshchin served as the second priest in the Church of the Holy Martyr Antipas. In 2016, he became rector of the church of St. Nicholas of Myra on the Three Mountains. Parting words of Father Dmitry fascinate people who visited the temple. They attentively listen to his speech and do not want to let the priest go for a long time.
