It’s good that we started with the liturgy in the Church on the Blood on the Day of the Three Hands. Here in Yaroslavl we also often remember the Tsar’s martyrs, especially when we walk past a chapel in the park. I wonder how many people gathered for this prayer opening?

Ilie Popa

Good thing they started with the Liturgy at Hramul-pe-Sânge, exactly on the day of the Troierucita Icon. Here in Bucharest, at our church, the father also often mentions the imperial martyrs at services. How many people came in the end, Ludmila?

Κώστας Χατζής

Good that they started with Liturgy exactly on the day of Tricherousa. In our church here in Larissa the father also commemorates the Royal Martyrs every now and then. How many finally got together?

Алексей Петров

It’s good that we started with the Liturgy in the Church on the Blood on the Day of the Three Hands. In Samara, we also commemorate the Tsar’s martyrs, especially when fishing along the Volga, when you pass by the chapel. But how many people actually came, Lyudmila, didn’t they write?

Виктор Киселёв

Thank you, Lyudmila, it’s good that you also honor the Tsar’s martyrs. In Yekaterinburg, at least two hundred people gathered for the liturgy that day—the church was full. Do you often have prayer services in your chapel in the park, or do people just light candles?

Olivia Lewis

Хорошо, что начали именно с Литургии в Храме-на-Крови в день Троеручицы. У нас в Оттаве на Библийских занятиях тоже часто говорим о Царских мучениках, особенно когда читаем про их терпение. Виктор, спасибо, что написал про двести человек — значит, храм правда был полон, это радует. А в вашей часовенке в парке молебны служат по расписанию или как получится?

Красимира Колева

It's good that they started precisely with liturgies in the Church of the Blood on the day of Troeruchitsa. Here in Burgas, on the Troeruchitsy holiday, the church is also always full, the priest commemorating the Tsar's martyrs. Viktor, thank you for writing about two hundred people — so people really responded.

Radu Nistor

Well said, Ilia, the Liturgy at the Shrine of the Blood is the most appropriate beginning. Here in Timișoara, at the cathedral, our father commemorates the imperial martyrs especially at the evening services. How many were with you in Bucharest that day?

Андрей Попов

It’s good that we started with the liturgy in the Church on the Blood on the Day of the Three Hands. In Minsk, we also often commemorate the Tsar’s martyrs, especially at the cemetery, when I pass their icon on the bus. Victor, two hundred people is solid, the church was really full.

Radu Nistor

Yes, Radu, the Liturgy at Hramul-pe-Sânge really opens the whole week well. Here in Craiova, in the church choir, we sing the troparion of the royal martyrs every year on July 17 in the evening. How many came to Timisoara to the cathedral that evening?

Екатерина Соловьёва

In Kazan, on Troeruchitsa, the church is always full, and the priest always remembers the Tsars. Two hundred people in the Church on the Blood is solid, which means that the people really responded. Victor, do you often have prayer services in your chapel in the park or do they mostly light candles?

Иван Богданов

It’s good that in Minsk they also commemorate the Tsar’s martyrs, even passing the icon on the bus. Here in Moscow, after the Blood Service, people often remember how in 1818 everything began with prayer. How many people usually gather in your church on such days?

Тимофей Соколов

Thank you, Ivan. In Minsk, on Tsar’s days, 70–80 people usually gather in our church, and on weekends, even more. I wonder if in Moscow on Blood after the service there is much left to commemorate 1918?
