To the glory of God - we passed!translated

I realized that the religious procession had taken place and was a success already at 9.30, half an hour before the official start of the gathering. An endless sea of people walking from the Kitay-Gorod metro station. An endless crowd at the frames. Flags with the Savior. Countless home icons (last year there were few of them, but this time many, very many, thought to come with a home shrine).
