Νίκη ΘεοδώρουIt's good that Bishop John went all the way to small Podolets for the icon of Kazan. Father Vladimir Kazakov is experienced, he always gets along with people there. I'm glad the temple dance sang.

Евгения КозловаI’m glad that Bishop John finally made it to our little Podolets on Kazanskaya. Father Vladimir Kazakov really always gets along with people, and this time our choir sang “It Is Worthy” especially well. Thanks for your service.

Ευάγγελος ΠαπαγεωργίουYou say it right, Niki, Podolets is small, but Father Vladimir always gathers people quietly. I remember last year when we went fishing nearby, we also passed by the temple – their dance sang simply and beautifully, without fanfare. How did you hear the news?
