May 4, 2023

At the final part of the farewell to fashion designer Vyacheslav Zaitsev, the priest made an exception and brought the ceremony to an end, despite the fact that the deceased was in a red jacket.

Usually, at the funeral, the deceased should be dressed in white clothes. However, Zaitsev was in a coffin in a red jacket, and nevertheless, the funeral ceremony was held to the end.

The priest said that the fashion designer had been going to this temple for 15 years and one day, when he came to Easter, he was surprised that all the paths in it were red, as in his shows. As a result, the priest closed his eyes to this and held the ceremony, because Zaitsev was known as Red Dior and always walked in red.

“One day he came to work and sees that everything here is in red. It was Easter. He like it very much. When he approached the cross, he said: “Your place is like ours,” the priest said.

The coffin with the body of the fashion designer after the farewell ceremony in the Cathedral of the Life-Giving Trinity was taken to the Zhegalovsky cemetery in Shchelkovo, reports News.ru .
