Thank you for mentioning the church of St. Nicholas in Bratunka - there, my father and I used to take water from the well before the Holy Liturgy.

Полина Иванова

Thank you for reminding us about the Church of St. Nicholas in Bratunets. My family and I also once stopped there along the way and took water from that very spring - cold as ice and very tasty. It’s good that the Patriarch serves there as a substitute; these places must not be forgotten.

Ольга Марченко

Yes, the church of St. Nicholas in Bratunka and that well - I remember how my husband and I also went there ten years ago. The water is really icy, until it breaks your teeth, but after it it was easy to stand at the Liturgy. It is good that the Patriarch serves there, these places should be remembered.

Юрій Руденко

It is interesting that the well near St. Nicholas is still alive. My wife and I also somehow collected water there before the service, the water is cold and clean. Did your father often travel to those regions?

Максим Шевченко

Yes, that well in Bratunka is really memorable - it is cold as ice, and after it it is really easier to stand on duty. It is good that Patriarch Porfiry rules there, because these places are quickly forgotten without prayer. Were you and your husband at the Liturgy itself or were you just collecting water?

Михайло Бондаренко

Yes, the well there is really icy, I somehow got drunk myself and then stood for half the service without fatigue. My wife and I were at the Liturgy itself, and we collected water after the alternation. And do you often go there for such memorial services?

Юлія Шевчук

No, the last time I was in Bratunka was before the war, ten years ago. But I remember your well well - really icy, after it, as if strength is added. You and your wife probably go there often, if you collected such water after the change?

Юлія Марченко

Yes, the well is still icy, my wife and I go there once every two or three months, especially after the change of birth. And where do you live now, if it's not a secret? Maybe also somewhere near Odessa?

Олександр Бойко

Yes, the well there is really icy, after it the legs carry themselves. My wife and I go once every two or three years, mostly for Pomen in July. What year was your last visit?
