Thank God that so many people gathered in Irkutsk. Spyridon's relics were also brought to us in Lviv a few years ago, people stood in line almost until night. It is good when such events gather people.

Thank God that so many people have gathered in Irkutsk. Here in Burgas, the relics of Saint Spyridon have not come, but I remember how years ago in Sofia people waited in line for several hours. I wonder if they were mostly locals there as well or if they also came from the surrounding towns.

Yes, it was like that in Sofia at that time too - people came from Plovdiv and Pernik. I am interested in whether in Irkutsk most were from the city itself, or they traveled from far away, like here. The relics of Saint Spyridon always gather a lot of people, thank God.
