The Pochaevska icon in Berdsk is something special, it was brought by Abbot Zinovi himself from the Lavra 15 years ago. It's good that they celebrated it with moleba in that church. Does anyone know if such a copy ever comes to Albania?

In Nizhny we also have a list from Pochaevskaya, but the one in Berdsk is especially expensive - fifteen years ago Abbot Zinovy himself brought it from the Lavra. It’s good that we celebrated with a prayer service in “Quench My Sorrows.” But I haven’t heard about the copy to Albania, maybe someone from the missionary department knows.

In Yekaterinburg they also venerate Pochaevskaya, but the Berd list is special - Abbot Zinovy himself brought it from the Lavra fifteen years ago. It’s good that “Quiet My Sorrows” held a prayer service on that very day. I don’t know anything about Albania, maybe it’s worth checking through the missionary department.

In Berdsk they have had this icon from the Lavra itself for 15 years, it was brought by Abbot Zenovius. I'm glad they did moleben right on her feast day. I don't know if a copy has ever arrived in Greece, maybe someone from the missionary department can tell.

Here in Kyiv, Pochaivska is also revered, and in Berdsk there is a special list - hegumen Zinovy himself brought it from the Lavra fifteen years ago. It is good that on the day of the holiday, a prayer service was held in the "Soothe my sorrows" church. I wonder if the missionary department plans to send copies to other countries like Albania or Greece.

I'm from Ohrid, here we also celebrate the Pochaev icon, but the song list that Abbot Zinovij himself brought from the Lavra 15 years ago sounds special to me. It's good that they made a prayer right in the "Utoli moja pechali" church on the day itself. Interestingly, does anyone from the missionary department know if a copy has reached us in Macedonia?

In Munich we also venerate the Pochaevskaya, but the Berd list is especially expensive - Abbot Zinovy himself brought it from the Lavra fifteen years ago. It’s good that it was on the day of the holiday that a prayer service was served at Soothe My Sorrows. I wonder if the missionary department really thinks about sending such lists abroad?

In Verdsk they have had this icon from the Lavra itself for 15 years, it was brought by Abbot Zenovius. I'm glad that they did moleben exactly on her feast day in the church "Утоли моя печали". I don't know if a copy has ever arrived in Cyprus, maybe someone from the missionary department can tell.

Илья Морозов

We also have a list of Pochaevskaya in Krasnodar, but the Berd one is especially valuable - Abbot Zinovy himself brought it fifteen years ago directly from the Lavra. It’s good that it was on the day of the holiday that a prayer service was served at Soothe My Sorrows. I wonder if the mission department actually discusses sending copies overseas?

Любовь Комарова

Yes, the icon in Berdsk is truly special - Zinovy himself brought it from Pochaev, you can immediately feel it. But I definitely haven’t heard about copies abroad in the missionary department, maybe these are just rumors. Do you often order prayer services from your list in Krasnodar?

Ηλίας Καραγιάννης

Yes, the icon in Verdsk is from the Lavra itself, I also remember it from Abbot Zenovius' visit years ago. Here in Athens we have a small copy at home from a pilgrimage 8 years ago, it helps a lot on difficult days. Do you know if they have made a copy for Cyprus as well?

Φωτεινή Σταθοπούλου

Yes, I too remember Abbot Zenovius who brought the icon to Berdsk 15 years ago. We in Cyprus don't have an official copy from the Lavra yet, but my daughter brought a small handmade one from Greece last year and we have it at home for the hard days, as you say. Do you know where you got yours in Athens?

Вера Новикова

Yes, Zinovy brought it from the Lavra, this is immediately evident from the letter. And I also haven’t heard anything about copies abroad; probably, the conversations just started after that meeting with the missionary department. In Krasnodar, do they often take the list out to religious processions or do they keep it more in the church?

Ирина Воробьёва

Yes, Zinovy really brought it himself, and this is immediately evident from how people are drawn to it. But in Krasnodar I don’t have a list; I was passing through there a couple of times and only ordered a prayer service in the church at the general image. Do you often go to Berdsk to see this icon?
