God forbid that the Patriarch came to the Lavra precisely on the eve of the discovery of the relics. I remember how last year my husband and I also stood in the square during the all-night vigil; there were a lot of people, but quietly and prayerfully.

It is good that the Patriarch comes to the Lavra every year on this day. We also remember how we stood with our spouse in the same peaceful environment, there were many people, but we could really feel the prayer.

God bless you. Last year, my husband and I also stood in this square until almost midnight, the children were already nodding off, but we still didn’t want to leave - there was such silence in front of all the people. It’s good that the Patriarch comes every year on this day.
