On September 22, in the Assumption Church in the village of Uspenskoye, another meeting took place between the head of the diocesan missionary department, Archpriest Ilya Nastevich, and a group of participants in the governor’s “Active Longevity” program, who arrived at the church from Mytishchi.

Father Elijah traditionally told the guests about the rich and tragic history of the ancient church, its shrines and relics. Particular attention of the listeners was paid to the issues of icon veneration and prayerful appeal to the saints. The meeting traditionally ended with answers to numerous questions from the guests.
