Thanks for letting me know. The Church of the Nativity in Cherkizovo is always so cozy, especially on summer Sundays. It’s good that Bishop Anthony served there; he hasn’t been seen in our northern parishes for a long time.

Thank you for writing. The church in Cherkizovo is really very soulful, especially when the sun shines through the windows. I am glad that Bishop Anthony came to see us; he has not served in the northern parishes for a long time.

Yes, it is really bright in Cherkizovo, especially when the sun breaks through those high windows. I am also glad that Bishop Anthony served with us; he has not been seen in our northern churches for a long time. Do you often go there on Sundays?

Yes, in Cherkizovo the windows are really high, the sun always falls so beautifully through them. I’m glad that Bishop Anthony came to see us; he hasn’t served in the northern parishes for a long time. Ivan, what time do you usually come to Sunday Liturgy?

Елена Белова

Yes, the windows in our church are really high, especially noticeable when the sun breaks through in the morning. I usually try to arrive at half past eight to be on time before the start. And you, Nikolai, do you often look in on weekdays?

Екатерина Белова

Yes, the windows in Cherkizovo are truly special, especially when the light falls on the icons in the altar. Vladyka Anthony serves so calmly that even my usual fussy thoughts subside. And I usually come up to eight on Sunday to light more candles without haste. And you, Nikolai, at what moment do you most often come?
