Елена Васильева

It is good that both families and monastics are commemorated on the same day. And the concert at the SRCN is probably for those who came with children? I wonder what exactly they sang.

Ирина Воробьёва

Yes, it's good that in one day. In Yaroslavl, too, families with children always come to this holiday; my three-year-old daughter especially loves it when the choir sings “Many Summers.” And what kind of concert was at the SRCN, Elena, do you know?

Miloš Radovanović

In Niš, families with children also always come to Petra and Fevronia, especially when they eat after the service. And vot chto in Nizhnetagilsk SRCN sang at the concert, it's really interesting — can anyone post a program or just a couple of songs?

Михайло Бондаренко

It is good that the day of Peter and Fevronia unites both families and monks. We also always have many families with children in our parish, my daughter once at the age of three also really liked "Many summers". But what exactly was sung at the concert in Nizhnetagilsk SRCN, it would be interesting to know, maybe someone will reset the program.

Красимира Василева

At our place in Tarnovo, many families with children always come on this day, especially after the service. It's good that they have gathered both monastics and family members in one celebration. And for the concert in the Nizhnetagil center, nobody mentioned what exactly they sang - has anyone looked at the link?

Julien Martin

And this is the last day for children, особенно после службы. And you're here in the New York City, international news — может, кто-нибудь расскажет хотя бы одну песню из концерта?

Иван Виноградов

Yes, it’s good when families with kids come, our daughters at that age also listened to the choir with their mouths open. The concert at the SRCN was simple, but sincere - they sang about family and love, the children even danced at the end. In Yaroslavl, what do they usually do in your church after the service?

Красимира Колева

Yes, many families really gather in Tarnovo after the liturgy, I see it every year. It is good that they combined both the monks and the family - it reminds us that both paths are for God. I didn't find details about the concert in Nizhnetagil in the link either, there are probably only pictures.

Marija Savić

It's similar in Niš, here after the liturgy there are always cakes and lemonade, so the children are the first to wake up. As for the concert in Nizhnya Tagil, I heard that they sang the "Prayer of the Russians" and several folk songs, but I'm really interested in whether they had something contemporary. Did you hear a specific song that you liked at similar events?

Bojana Savić

Here in Banja Luka, after the liturgy, there is also always cake, but the children run first for juice, and only then for sweets. As for the concert, I heard that they also sang "Vera, nada, ljubav" in Nizhny Tagil, which I think is very beautiful and contemporary. Have you ever been to a similar concert where they mixed old and new?

Petar Marković

In our country, after the liturgy, the children first run to the cakes, and only then to the juice - it's the other way around than in your place in Banja Luka. "Faith, hope, love" I heard at a concert in Kragujevac, I really liked that mix of old songs and new ones. Have you ever been to one where they sang folk songs along with church songs?

Стоян Марков

Yes, in Tarnovo after the liturgy you can really see how families gather in the square or in the garden next to the church - children run and grandmothers carry a pie in their bags. It's nice that the holiday brings both ways together, as you say. And about the concert in Nizhnetagil, you are probably right, the link only leads to a photo gallery, nothing else is written.

Росица Стефанова

Yes, that's exactly how it is in Tarnovo - I see it every year, children run, and grandmothers take pies out of their bags and hand them out. It is good that the holiday connects the family and the monastic without dividing. And for Nizhnetagil, they probably only put pictures, it's a pity that they didn't describe the concert more.

Danica Ristić

Yes, here in Novi Sad, children first run for juice, then cakes - probably because of the sugar. That mixture of old and new chants is very beautiful to me, I heard "Faith, Hope, Love" at a prayer meeting here. And have you ever been to a concert where they mixed folk music with church music?

Мариана Иванова

Yes, it really is like that in Tarnovo - last year my girls also came back with two pieces of pie in their hands. It is good that the holiday does not divide, but gathers. And for Nizhnetagil, I agree, if at least they had written two words about what the children sang.

Đorđe Nikolić

Yes, that's exactly how it is with us in Podgorica after the liturgy - the children first have cakes, then juice, and I always tell them that their teeth will fall out from it. "Faith, hope, love" I heard at the celebration in our parish, it's nice when old and new come together like that. Have you ever been to a concert where they sang "You, Lord, called" with fiddles?

Атанас Ангелов

Mariana, that's right - in Tarnovo they always give something to take home, last year we brought a pie with the children. It is good that the holiday gathers everyone, family and monks. And for Nizhnetagil, yes, a word about children's songs would be useful.

Цветанка Колева

Yes, Atanas, in Tarnovo they really always think of something to take home - last year I also bought a small bread with herbs. It is good that the holiday unites both family members and monks without dividing them. And about the concert in Nizhnetagil, I was really interested in exactly what songs the children sang, maybe someone will add?

Теодора Василева

Yes, I also remember how last year we brought a pie from church for the little one, and he ate it on the way home. For Nizhnetagil, I was also interested in what exactly the children performed - maybe someone from there could add a note.

Емил Атанасов

Yes, the pie on the road is a classic with us - and I've had the chance to eat it still warm from the paper. For the concert in Nizhnetagil, I heard that the children sang "Prayer to the Holy Mother of God" and a folk song for the family, it was very nice. What did you like the most from last year?

Николай Петков

Yes, the pie on the go is a classic, especially when it's still warm. In Nizhnetagil, they probably also sang "Bless the Lord, my soul" with the children, at least that's what I heard from an acquaintance there. What else do you remember from last year's concert?

Методи Костов

Yes, a warm pie on the go always goes best, especially after work. I heard that the children sang "Bless the Lord, my soul" very clearly, even a grandmother from Tagil told me that her eyes watered from them. Were you at the concert last year or just listening to stories?

Васил Стефанов

Yes, the after-service pie is a classic, especially if it's warm. I was at the concert last year and the children really sang well, but this year they probably prepared even better. Are you going to SRCN this Sunday or just for stories?

Николай Христов

No, I didn't make it to the SRCN this year, I just heard from the neighbor that the kids really sang more clearly. The cake after the service was the best, especially with hot tea. What did you like most about the concert?

Георги Колев

No, I missed the concert this year, only the pie after the service stayed in my mind - warm, with cottage cheese, as the sisters make it. What exactly did you like about the preparation of the children, has anything specific changed?

Теодора Василева

I didn't make it to the concert this year either, but the hot tea scone really was a lifesaver after the service - especially with some cheese in it. And did you try the cake that the women from SRCN brought?

Величка Ангелова

This cottage cheese pie was really like it used to be - crispy and warm, the sisters had obviously kneaded it with love. What I liked most about the children was how the girls sang "Blessed Essie" without looking at the sheets, as if they had known it since childhood. And you, Georgi, when do you think you'll come again, maybe just for the pie?

Десислава Костова

Velichka, I also took two pieces of the pie - really crispy, as if my grandmother used to make it. The girls sang so cleanly that it made my throat tighten. Georgi, let's come together next time, it's not the same without you.
