Thank God that the military hospital in Vladikavkaz was also moved. Those people need holy water more than anyone. In our parish, honey is always consecrated on August 14, but this year I forgot to take the jar from the neighbor's beehives.

Thank God and for that hospital in Vladikavkaz, Ioana. Here in Craiova, honey is still sanctified, but I also forgot the jar at home this year - I left it on the table next to the jar of plums. Did you even manage to put holy honey in your tea?
