It was nice to see that Metropolitan Merkurius served the liturgy on the feast of the Don Icon. Here in Belgrade, we also remember that icon at the summer assemblies. Thanks for the news.

Here in Tula we also honor the Don Icon, especially in September. I am glad that Metropolitan Mercury himself led the service in Rostov. Thanks for the news, Petar, it’s good that they remember it in Belgrade too.

In the Poltava region, the Don icon is also well known, especially after the church holidays in September. It is pleasant that Metropolitan Merkurius himself led the liturgy on this particular day. Thanks for the news.
