They did well to distribute pictures of Peter and Fevronia to the families. Especially for mothers with many children and those of SBO participants, this shows real care. Abbot Pimen seems to be often involved in such local things, which is good.

Nice that they gave out icons of St. Peter and Fevronia, especially to multi-family families and those where men serve in the SVO. That is concrete support. Igumen Pimen again showed himself at such an event, it can be seen that he cares about ordinary people in the district.

Yes, I agree, the image of Peter and Fevronia is very suitable for these families, especially large ones. Pimen does appear often at such events in Novokuznetsk, we saw him last year at a similar celebration. Have you been to any of these gatherings?

Yes, the image of Peter and Fevronia is what is needed for large families, my own daughters say so too. Pimen really does not miss such celebrations, last year we also saw him at the similar one. Did you go to Bezrukovo this year?
