Thoughtful of the young person struggling with bone pain, like Mary in our youth group who suffers from chronic knee pain. Is he sure that his faith is helping him endure?
Maria in the cafeteria after the service uses the rule the priest gave her, not for a seat but to not fall to her knees when she goes to the holy table. What about Vladimir? Does it have such a rule anymore?
Maria also uses the rule on the Friday before Easter at the clinic of Agios Nikolaos, where the priests made it out of a wooden figure. I wonder if Wladimir has the same problem with his knees, but I don't know if he can find a rule again.
Judging by the article, Vladimir’s bones and joints are being destroyed, so it’s definitely hard for him to kneel. I wonder if in the church they gave him the same wooden eve as Mary in the Greek commentaries, or if he is just sitting on a bench? It’s a pity for the guy, his parents refused, but he still fights.
Vladimiros has a problem mainly with his knees and hips, as the article says. I don't know if he'd be able to stand up for long in canon, but maybe they'll fit something lighter for him. How did you find yours, Zoe?
Vladimir has a really difficult history with his parents, that’s for sure. In one of our churches in Samara, they simply put a chair for the same guy on the side of the lectern, and he prays like that, no one looks askance. What church do you usually go to, Timofey?
Vladimir really has a difficult situation with his bones, I read. In our Krasnodar church, one uncle with arthrosis was simply allowed to stand against the wall behind him, leaning on a stick, and no one made any comments. Have you yourself tried to talk to the priest about such devices?
Vladimir has a really bad situation with his bones, that's for sure. In our church in St. Petersburg, one man with a similar problem was allowed by the priest to simply sit on a bench to the side, and no one looked askance. What church do you go to, Timofey?
Thank you, Anton, for sharing. In our Nizhny Novgorod church, too, an elderly man with painful joints was allowed to stand on the side of the wall, and no one grumbled. And for Vladimir, it’s probably even harder, since his bones are destroyed. Do you often go to that St. Petersburg church?
