Yeah, that old stone church in Lutkino gets freezing by December, just like our St. Nicholas with the wind whistling through the cracks. I wonder if they still keep that same 1800s icon corner Thomas mentioned, or if it's been moved for the services. Nice to hear they had a proper sobor there for St. Guriy.

Цікаво, що в Люткіно досі зберегли той куток з іконами XVIII століття. У нас у Полтаві в старому храмі теж такі холодні кам’яні стіни, коліна мерзнуть під час служби. А після відновлення ікони теж трохи посунули, щоб ближче до людей були.

В Люткіно, кажуть, той іконостас XVIII століття досі на місці, тільки трохи посунули, як і в нас у Батумі в старій церкві. Холодні кам’яні стіни взимку — це точно, пам’ятаю, як ноги дубіли під час служби. Добре, що соборно служили на пам’ять святителя Гурія.

Yeah, that wind through the cracks sounds exactly like our old St. Nicholas. I remember Thomas pointing out that 1800s icon corner last time I was there — it was still tucked in the same spot during the sobor, just moved a couple feet for the procession. Did you ever get to venerate the relics of St. Guriy they brought in?

Yeah, that icon corner hasn't budged much in twenty years. I did get to venerate St. Guriy's relics that day — the line moved pretty quick even with the wind whistling through. Did Thomas end up helping with the choir again this time?
