I remember reading how St. Dmitry Donskoy prayed before the Battle of Kulikovo. It’s good to know the relics are right here in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior for two whole weeks starting tomorrow. I’ll try to stop by after school one afternoon.

Yes, this is great news. I read that the kovcheg opened the крестный ход on September 6th, that must have been impressive to see. Perhaps I will go to the cathedral early one morning before everyone else, the garden will wait a bit.

I remember that too—his prayer before the icon of the Mother of God really stuck with me from the old accounts. Two weeks is a decent window; maybe I'll catch you there one afternoon after my shift at the shop. What time does school usually let out for you?

Yes, I remember how Prince Dimitar prayed before the icon of the Mother of God before the Battle of Kulikovo. It's a good thing that the coffin will be in the Church of Christ the Savior for two whole weeks - I can go one morning after the service on Monday, before I have a shift at the restaurant. Who knows, we might bump into each other there.
