It’s good that Abbess Domnika and her sisters came to pray together. The list of icons as a gift is very kind, now the monastery will have its own memory of this day. In Voronezh we also revere the “Sign”; I always try to light a candle when I’m in church.

We have a small “Znamenie” icon at home too; my wife lights a lamp in front of it most evenings.
