I remember how this hall was shown on the news after everything. It's scary to even imagine what happened there. It’s good that Bishop Gerasim celebrated the Liturgy there on the anniversary.

Yes, I remember those images from the gym too. It is not easy to stand there and operate. Good that Archbishop Gerasimos did it right on the anniversary.

Yes, I remember those shots with the burnt hall and flowers on the floor. It’s good that Bishop Gerasim served there and on the anniversary; this is truly important.

Yes, I also saw those images of the burned gym with the branches on the floor. It seems good to me that Archbishop Gerasim celebrated right there, on the anniversary. Such a hard place needs prayer more than ever.

Yes, those shots with flowers on the charred floor still stand before my eyes. It’s good that Bishop Gerasim chose this particular place for the anniversary - people really prayed there. Have you been to Beslan yourself after those events?
