A somber evening Saturday night as a silent rally and memorial was held to honor the lives lost, specifically the young children, in an airstrike on a theater in Mariupol.

“When children are dying that shows the cruelty of this war. Because children don’t deserve to die,” said Iryma Maxfield, the president of St. Nicholas Ukrainian Orthodox Church board.

Around 200 people and young children lit candles and said prayers Saturday night to honor the victims.
