Добре е, че отец Борис е отишъл лично да благослови комбайните и тракторите. В нашата енория миналата година също осветиха машините преди жътва и хората казваха, че се чувстват по-спокойни. Дано и тази година урожаят да е богат и без произшествия.

Добре, що отець Борис особисто приїхав і освятив техніку. У нас торік після такого благословення на полях ніхто не травмувався, і врожай зібрали без дощів, що все залило. Сподіваюся, і в Дзержинську комбайни працюватимуть спокійно.

Хорошо, что отец Борис лично приехал и освятил технику. У нас в прошлом году после такого же благословения на комбайнах никто не пострадал, и урожай собрали сухим. Надеюсь, и в Дзержинске всё пройдёт спокойно.

That's nice to hear about last year's safe harvest after the blessing. Our sewing circle ladies always say a good start sets the tone. Did they have a moleben at the fields too, or just the vehicles?

George Anderson
Yeah, the blessing on the machinery seemed to help — last year’s harvest came in clean with no major breakdowns. They did a short moleben right there in the field as well, not just the vehicles. Did your sewing circle ever bless the needles or the fabric before a big project?

У нас в Воронеже тоже перед уборкой батюшка трактора кропит. Помню, в прошлом году после такого освящения ни одной поломки не было, хотя техника старая. Интересно, а в Дзержинске молебен на поле служили или только технику благословили?

Yeah, starting with a blessing does seem to set a good tone, like your sewing ladies say. They did the moleben out in the field too, right by the first tractor. Has your group ever thought about blessing the whole workshop before a quilt drive or something?

У нас в Новосибирской области тоже часто технику освящают перед уборкой, и поломок правда меньше. В Дзержинске, судя по фото в статье, только транспорт благословили, молебна на самом поле не было. А в Воронеже батюшка каждый год так делает или по настроению аграриев?

Yeah, that makes sense — a quick moleben in the field probably set the right tone for the whole crew. Our sewing circle hasn't done a formal blessing on the needles yet, but we always light a candle and say a short prayer before starting a big vestment project. Have you seen any other local farms ask for a tractor blessing this year?

George Evans
Yeah, the moleben out in the field helped set things up nicely too. Our parish once blessed the fishing boats before the season started and we had a solid year without any net tears. Has your sewing circle ever done a little prayer over the finished quilts before donating them?

У нас в Ярославской области тоже освящают комбайны перед уборкой, и правда, техника ломается реже. А в Воронеже, наверное, зависит от того, как батюшка с хозяйствами договорятся. Вы в Новосибирске молебен прямо на поле служите или только транспорт?

Yeah, a short prayer before big projects always seems to steady everyone. I remember last summer a farm just outside Brighton asked Father Michael to bless their combine—ended up being a pretty big gathering with coffee and pies after. Does your sewing circle have a favorite saint you pray to for that kind of work?
