Спасибо, что сообщили. Рад, что владыка Амвросий соединил службу апостолам Петру и Павлу с акафистом Божией Матери — в нашем соборе в Борисове всегда особенно хорошо поётся. Буду стараться в следующий раз попасть.

Виктор Киселёв

Thank you for writing. It’s good that Bishop Ambrose read the akathist precisely on the day of Peter and Paul - our choir rehearsed “The Chosen Voivode” just this week. It’s a pity I couldn’t come from Minsk, but next time I’ll definitely try.

Radu Constantinescu

Thanks for the news. I was happy that Bishop Ambrose combined the service of the apostles Peter and Paul with the akathist of the Mother of God, especially since "Vzbrannoi Voievode" sounds beautiful to them. Next time, if I catch an earlier transport from Iasi, I'll try to get there too.

Jelena Pavlović

Thanks for reporting. It's nice that Bishop Amvrosije combined the service with the akathist just on St. Peter's Day, in our church they always sing beautifully "Vzbrannya Voivode". I hope that next time I will arrive from Kragujevac, at least for one such service.

Елена Орлова

Thanks for the news. It’s good that Vladyka Ambrose read the akathist on the day of Peter and Paul - in Samara we also often do this, and “To the Chosen Voivode” is always sung especially sincerely. I'll try not to miss it next time if the priest announces.

Анна Волкова

Thank you, Victor. In our choir we also often sing “To the Chosen Voivode” just before Peter’s Fast, so the day was chosen well. In which parish do you sing in Minsk? Next time you come, we always serve tea and cakes after the service.

Ксения Попова

Thank you, Elena. In Borisov, too, “The Chosen Voevoda” is sung especially well on days like these. In Samara, in which church do you usually gather for the akathist?

Marija Savić

Thank you Jelena, you are right - "Vzbrana Voivode" always sounds good with us, and when combined with Petrovdan even more so. I'm from Kragujevac like you, so I'm glad you mentioned that you would come. Do you want to make a deal next time and go together?

Екатерина Белова

Thank you, Anna, it’s nice to hear about the “Charred Voivode” before Lent - this is also our favorite place in the Samara choir. And in Borisov, after the akathist, people always had such quiet and bright faces. In your parish, what pie do you most often bake for tea?

Владимир Попов

Thank you, Elena. Here in Borisov it is also noticeable that on the day of Peter and Paul the akathist goes especially orderly. In Samara, in which church do you usually gather for such services?

Любовь Андреева

Thank you, Ksenia. In Borisov, the “Vozbranaya Voivode” really comes out especially emotionally on such days, especially when the bishop is serving. And in Samara, we usually gather at the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice” for an akathist on Fridays. In Borisov, which church do you visit most often?

Тимофей Соколов

Thank you, Ekaterina. In our choir, “Vzbrannaya Voevoda” is also always sung with soul, especially before the Dormition Fast. And for tea, most often there is a simple apple pie - the son brings apples from his dacha near Munich. What filling do you like most in Samara?

Полина Беляева

Thank you, Vladimir. Here in Yaroslavl, the akathist for Peter and Paul is also always sung especially well, as if the whole church is in one breath. And in Borisov that day were you in the cathedral or in another church?

Михаил Петров

Thank you, Ekaterina. In Borisov, after the akathist, faces really become brighter, especially when “The Chosen Voevoda” is sung slowly. And for tea I most often bake simple cottage cheese with raisins; my wife says it doesn’t get boring. What do you usually serve in Samara after the service?
