The work was written on March 3 especially for the series of concerts "Baltic Prayer".
The Lord's Prayer is one of the most well-known and widely used prayers in the Christian world. It was given by Jesus Christ himself in response to a request from one of his disciples to teach him how to pray. In this prayer, a person addresses God as their Father. They ask for forgiveness of sins and protection from evil. It also includes a request for God's will and blessing for each day of life. "The Lord's Prayer is an important part of the Christian tradition. It is a source of hope, peace and understanding for millions of people around the world. It was a turning point in the modern history of Ukraine and Europe when Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.
" I wrote this piece on the 29th day of the great war, when I tried to calm down and pray for victory and an end to the war. But the tension continued to build until the last notes, and finally turned into despair, without any hope left in me. "
