I wonder in which church in Minsk it will be possible to see it? In Rostov, such arks are usually brought to the cathedral, and there is always a long line. It’s good that there are so many new martyrs at once.

Svetlana, in Minsk the ark was first placed in the Holy Spirit Cathedral, where one could venerate. There really was a queue, but not as long as you had in Rostov. Do they often bring such relics to your cathedral?

Here in Odesa, such coffins are also often brought to the Assumption Cathedral, and the line always gathers. It is good that in Minsk they put it in Svyato-Duhovo, because it is more convenient for people. And how many days he will stay there, you did not write?

Thanks for sharing it. I read that they put him first in the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Minsk and the queue was not as long as in Rostov. In our Cyprus, when they bring such relics, they usually put them in Saint John the Theologian here in Nicosia and we wait patiently. How many days did he stay?

Yes, here in Poltava, too, coffins are brought to the cathedral, and people stand for hours. It's good that they put it in Svyato-Duhovo, it's really more convenient to approach there. And how many days is he in Minsk, can one of the locals tell me?

In Poltava, they say, many people also come after work, because they don't have time in the afternoon. We had such an ark in Lviv last year in St. George's Cathedral, and the queue was also long, but people stood patiently. And how many days will he stay in Minsk, really interesting, can someone from Belarus write?

It is really convenient in Poltava, when they set up in Svyato-Duhovo, I also went there. In Kharkov, we had such an ark last year in Pokrovsky, and people came after five in the evening so as not to stand for a long time. Which cathedral in Poltava do you visit the most?

In Poltava, I visit the Assumption Cathedral more often, it is more peaceful there. And in Kharkiv, it's interesting that after five in the evening there are fewer queues - it's good that people are adjusting. Do you often pray in Pokrovsky?

Yes, it is really calmer in Poltava in Uspenskyi, especially in the morning. And there are also fewer people in our Pokrovsky after the evening service, so I try to go there. Do you often visit churches with relics in Kharkiv?

Yes, it is really quieter in the morning in Uspenskyi in Poltava, I also noticed it when I was there. In Kharkiv, I often go to Sviato-Pokrovskyi, there are relics there, but I like Panteleimonivskyi the most - it is always calm there and you can stand near the ark. Which church in Poltava do you most often visit with relics?
