Ольга БойкоGod bless you for the pilgrimage. I wonder how many Tarchans went with Father Mykhailo? I saw the Church-on-the-Blood only in a photo, but the procession to the Ganina Yama is always impressive.

Ксения СоловьёваGod bless you, Father Mikhail. I wonder how many Tarchans went with him this year? I also only saw the Church on the Blood in photographs, but every time I read about the procession to Ganina Yama and think about what it would be like to walk all night with so many people.

Георгий КузнецовСпаси Господи, Ксения. В этом году с отцом Михаилом поехало шестеро тарчан, включая меня. Крестный ход действительно особенный — идёшь в полной тишине, только тысячи ног шуршат по асфальту, а под утро уже ноги гудят, но внутри спокойно. А ты бы рискнула когда-нибудь поехать?
