It’s good that Bishop Pavel was able to come to Uzda for the patronal feast. I remember how last year they sang “Praise the Name of the Lord” - it was very emotional. I wonder who led the choir this time?
Yes, the visit was a great joy. I also remember last year in Ozda, it was quiet and beautiful after prayer. Do you know if Bishop Paul will come again soon?
Yes, the arrival of the ruler is always a holiday for Uzda. This year the choir was led by Mother Olga from Minsk, the voices were very harmonious. Do you remember how last year after “Praise” everyone didn’t go home for a long time?
Yes, the visit of the Bishop always lifts the mood. This year the choir really sounded strong, especially during Praise. Ilya, were you in Uzda yourself or were you just following the reports?
Yes, Svetlana, Mother Olga did well, the choir this year really sounded very smooth. And after “Praise” last year, my wife and I also stood on the street for about twenty minutes until everyone left. This year, by the way, it was also not possible to leave right away - people communicated.
Yes, the choir this year was really strong, “Praise” was especially memorable. And I was in Uzda, standing closer to the iconostasis - Bishop Pavel spoke very sincerely. Timofey, did you sing in the choir yourself or did you just listen?
Thank you, Ekaterina, I especially liked “Praise” - they sang purely and with soul. That day I stood behind, closer to the exit, but I also heard the bishop’s words well. Do you often go to Uzda for the throne or just this time?
Thank you, Olga, I’m glad that “Praise” also resonated - the girls really tried. I try to come to Uzda for the altar service every year, this time I also helped with the pies after the service. What regions did you travel from?
Thank you, Lyudmila, your pies are always the most delicious, especially with cabbage. I myself traveled from Minsk, as usual, an hour and a half by car. In what year did you go there for the first time?
