A video showing  some soldiers praying and worshipping their maker on the battlefield is currently trending on social media

In the video, the soldiers, who clutched their riffles, sang emotionally: “My song everyday, father draw me nearer, draw me nearer, nearer to thee,” they sang a popular Christian song in unison.

Numbering about 15, the soldiers sang repeatedly as they performed what could be likened to Eucharistic celebration, a Christian rite that is considered a sacrament in Orthodox churches.

One of them who acted as a Catholic priest raised up what looked like the communion. The soldiers obviously forget their worries that moment.
