I heard that it is about the Icon of the Mother of God from Abalak. Would she be brought to the cathedral downtown? It would be nice if some people from our parish also go to the akathist if it comes to us.

They also brought Abalakskaya to us in Krasnodar, I remember how the line lined up to the street. And in Omsk, they probably installed it in the Assumption Cathedral? I wonder how long they'll leave it.

Viorica Lungu

Yes, it's really the Icon of the Mother of God from Abalak. He has already arrived at the Assumption Cathedral in the center, the reception service was yesterday evening. If he comes to our place in Sibiu, I would also go to the akathist with my husband, but with the little two-year-old it would be a bit difficult to stay long. Have you ever been to such a meeting with an icon?

Andrei Lungu

Yes, I was at the Omsk cathedral two years ago when the Abalak icon came. The evening service was full, people were even standing on the steps outside. In Sibiu, I think they would come to us too, but with the two-year-old boy, you're right, it's hard to stay long - we used to walk easily with the older girls, but now it's different. Have you seen the arrival pictures?

Mihaela Tudor

Yes, I saw the pictures from the arrival, there was an impressive crowd even on the steps. Here in Sibiu, I think it would be just as crowded, but with our two-year-old boy, we really can't stand long jobs. How are you and the older girls doing now, do you still go to such events often?

Florin Matei

Yes, I saw those pictures too, people were actually crowding the steps like you do in Omsk. With the older girls it's easier, we take them to soccer on Sunday mornings and after that we go to church, but now with the two-year-old boy we stay at home more. Have you been to other icons that came to the west?

Elena Dumitrescu

Yes, a lot of people gather at our place when a big icon comes, as if the whole parish wakes up. With the two-year-old boy I understand perfectly, it was the same with us when the girl was little, we spent more time with her at home. Have you and your family been to any icon that passed through Chisinau in recent years?
