Thank you for recognizing our seniors. In Rostov, too, after the service we often have a tea party for grandmothers, but this concert with folk songs was a good idea, especially when they sing “Kalinka” or “Katyusha”. Who sang, their own parishioners or were they invited?

Good thing they organized it with songs and food after the service. In our own church in Nicosia, the grandmothers are very happy when they play old Cypriot tunes, something like "Pote ara ma zasteria". I also ask like Valentina, who sang, yours or did they come from outside?

Here in Sofia, after liturgy, we also often make tea for the elderly from the parish, but a concert with folk songs is a good idea. I especially like that they sang "Kalinka" and "Katyusha" - Valentina mentioned them exactly. And who sang, were they their own or invited?

Here in Michalovci, we also often make tea for the elders after the liturgy, but a concert with folk songs would be a nice addition. You mention "Kalinka" and "Katyusha" - people would definitely like that. And who actually sang, your parishioners or did you invite someone?
