After all, this is the first time in the world. своего небесного покровителя. More information about this type of work, such as: This is the first time you can find it. How to use the phone number in the phone — самое то.

It is good that Vladyka Ioann came to Ostapovo on the right day. Father Victor's sermon before communion is always clear and to the point, and having the children from St. Mitrofan's school there is the best. The procession after the service must have been easy in this heat.

Рада, что Владыка Иоанн именно в Остапово служил в свой день — храм-то тоже в честь Предтечи. Проповедь отца Виктора перед Причастием всегда по делу, хорошо, что дети из школы святителя Митрофана были. Крестный ход после Литургии в такую жару, наверное, освежил всех.

Рада, что Владыка Иоанн приехал именно в Остапово в свой день — храм-то тоже Иоанна Предтечи, всё совпало. Проповедь отца Виктора перед Причастием всегда по делу, а крестный ход после Литургии в такую жару, наверное, был как раз в тему. Хорошо, что дети из школы святителя Митрофана были, Лариса Дмитриевна молодец, что их привезла.

Yes, praying on the feast day of St. John the Baptist in his church in Ostapovo was very appropriate. I liked that the children from St. Mitrofan's School attended, it gives them a vivid memory. Do you know if the path around the church is difficult for children in the heat?

It was nice to see the school kids there too — Lariса Дмитриевна always makes the effort to bring them. The cross procession in that heat must have been tough, but it felt right for St. John’s day. Did you manage to get to the service yourself?

Yes, the presence of the children from St. Mitrofan's School gave me hope, especially when I saw them seriously participating in prayer. The path around the church is not very difficult, but it was a little hot that day, so some of them carried small umbrellas. Have you ever been to Ostapovo?
