Brother, there is also a service at 8:00 in our church of Saint John in Niš. Will there be a water consecration after the Liturgy, like last year? Thanks for the notification.

In Poltava, they also serve at 8:00 a.m. on Usyknovenia. And in Zarechnoy, after the Liturgy, is the water consecrated? Last year, after the service, people filled bottles and took them home.

Thank you, Miloš, it's good to hear that they keep the same time in Niš. With us, after the Liturgy, there will be a consecration of the water, as well as the deer, but there will be fewer people because many of them are in the fields these days. And where do you serve in the old or in the new church?

Michael Turner

At our parish we also serve at 8:00 for the Beheading, and the water blessing afterward is always packed with folks filling bottles like Svetlana described. Good to hear Niš and Poltava keep the same early time. Ivana, is the old church in your town still the one they use for this feast?

Petar Marković

Thank you, Ivana. With us, it is in the new church, the old one is now mainly for smaller services. After the Liturgy, we will sanctify the water too, but it is less holy here because of the harvest - I spent the whole afternoon in the orchard yesterday. And you in Zarečno always hold the glory beautifully, we go every year when we can.

Marija Lukić

Thank you, Ivana. Here in Zarečno, there will also be a consecration of water after the Liturgy, but this morning I already saw that there will be about twenty of us because many of them are in the fields. And were you at the consecration last year?
