Markéta Veselá

Thank you for the message. It reminded me of how two years ago we were standing in the Archangel Cathedral on a trip to Moscow and we were reading about St. Eudocia. The liturgy there must be beautiful.

Marek Dvořák

That's a nice memory, Markéta. We were also there three years ago with my husband and daughter, just in the summer, and the cathedral seemed smaller than I expected, but the peace inside was really strong. Were you there in July too, or in another month?

Pavel Černý

Thanks for the memory, Markéta. We were also in that cathedral three years ago, and my husband then showed me a photo of the icon of St. Eudokia, whom he photographed there. Were you there with children or just the two of you?

Markéta Veselá

Yes, the peace inside is truly unforgettable, Marek. It also seemed smaller to me than in the photos, but in July two years ago, I was there after mass with my husband and son, when we were driving through Moscow. Were you there on a holiday or just for a tour?

Jiří Veselý

Yes, that icon of St. Eudokia is really pretty there, I saw her too. We were there with our two sons two years ago, and the older one asked at home how it was with the princess in the monastery. And did you take the picture with a mobile phone or a proper camera?

Ondřej Novák

Yes, that photo of the icon was very nice, my husband then showed it to everyone at home. We were there with our daughter four years ago, when she still lived here. And did you manage to do it in the summer or was it in the fall?

Markéta Veselá

Yes, I was there with my husband and younger son three years ago too. The icon of St. I was particularly interested in Eudokia because it is placed in the corner by the window, the light falls on it nicely. And did you take the picture with a mobile phone, or did you have a camera with you?
