It reminded me of how we saw those old wooden churches two years ago on a trip near Vologda. If you take it that way, the baptism of Rus was the beginning, which extends to us. Does anyone from Vologda have any photos from the celebrations?

I remembered how years ago fishing by the Sukhona River we passed one of those old wooden churches Anna mentioned. Indeed, it is a long way from the baptism of Rus to us. Does anyone have a picture of this year's services in Vologda?
