James MorrisNice to see the new cross blessed at the entrance to Koptevka. The choir under Roman Khitev always lifts the service, and it’s good they honoured those two local blokes, Volodin and Zinin, for actually helping the parish. Glory to St Maximus the Greek.

Łukasz KowalskiDobrze, że nowy krzyż na wjeździe do Koptiewki poświęcili, będzie od razu widać, że to prawosławna wieś. Chór pod Romanem Chitiowem jak zawsze dobrze śpiewał, a Volodin i Zinin zasłużyli na te medale, bo realnie pomagają parafii. Pamiętam, jak św. Maksym Grek cierpliwie wszystko tłumaczył, oby i u nas taka wytrwałość była.

Румяна ПетроваХубаво, че осветиха новия поклонен кръст на входа на Коптевка, сега всеки, който влиза, ще го вижда още от пътя. Хорът на Роман Хитёв пак е бил на ниво, а на Володин и Зинин им се полагат медалите – фермер и директор, дето реално помагат на храма, не само на думи. Славно, че и за Максим Грек направиха славословение точно на деня на мощите му.

Andreea StoicaBine că au sfințit crucea cea nouă la intrarea în Koptevka, acum o vede tot satul de departe. Mi-a plăcut că au pomenit și de corul lui Roman Hitiov, cântă curat băieții. Volodin și Zinin chiar merită medaliile alea, că nu stau doar cu vorba, ci ajută la parohie cu fapte.
