It’s good that Father Dimitri and Father Sergius served together. A religious procession accompanied by bells is always especially felt. And, apparently, there was enough pies and tea for everyone - in our choir there is usually nothing left after such meals.

It's good that Father Dimitri and Father Sergius served together, it's nice when the deacon and the priest are together on the throne. The crucifixion with the bells is always the most beautiful part for me, it feels like a real testimony. And the pies with tea - I hope that mine would be enough for everyone, last year they disappeared quickly in our church.
