It was nice that the clergy were also there at the school celebrations. Working on the lines in Мытищи sounds really good. In our shop, the teachers have already told us how much the children are happy about such prayers of blessing.

Here in Pilsen, this year we also had mass before the start of school, and the daughters returned home with the small icons they had been given. It's nice that in Mytišče there were priests right on those ceremonial lines. Kids really take it seriously, at least ours do.

Here in Sofia, we also do a prayer before September 15 in the church, and then the children bring small icons home. It's good that in Mytishti they also went to the schools in the ambulances themselves - my son said last year that he was more relaxed that way on the first day. Thanks for the news.
