It is good that the metropolitan also went to the prison and held mass. 25 years the Vladimir church has been operating, I didn't know that. Power to the inmates and staff there.

It is good that the metropolitan went to the prison and celebrated a liturgy. I did not know that the church of the Vladimir Icon has been there for 25 years. May God give strength to the prisoners and the employees, especially the veterans.

It’s good that Metropolitan Bartholomew not only served the liturgy, but also met with employees and veterans. The church has been operating in the colony for 25 years - this is serious, many people there have probably come several times over the years. May God give strength to everyone who serves and sits there.

It's good that the metropolitan also met with the employees and veterans, not just the inmates. I didn't know that Vladimirskoi church is already 25 years old in colony 18. May God give patience to all who work there day by day.
