It is good that this tradition has been kept for many years. I especially liked that we went right at the beginning of the school year - September 1-2, so that students could immediately pray in front of the relics and icons in Bogolyubov and Murom. 70 people is a solid group, probably they had to hire buses.

It's good that they have been keeping this tradition for years now. The fact that they immediately went on September 1-2, at the beginning of the year, for the students to worship first, shows a correct order. 70 people is a big group, it probably took two buses.

It’s good that they don’t abandon the tradition and at the beginning of the school year they immediately take students to venerate the relics in Bogolyubovo and Murom. In our Sunday school, we also try to travel with the children more often, so that they not only learn with their heads, but also with their hearts. 70 people is serious, probably two buses were really needed.

Yes, 70 people is already a whole convoy, two buses for sure. In Voronezh, after the holidays, we also try to immediately take young people on a pilgrimage, so that not only the lectures are in their heads, but also that they actually stand in the church. What school do you go to with your kids, Penza?
