Georg Weber

Okay, the beautiful woman has the name of this holiday. The Vachernian icon is one of Kuzminka's most famous. Interestingly, what is the crossroads of the church after the liturgy?

Екатерина Попова

Yes, on this day it was especially good that it was Vladyka Methodius who served. In Kuzminki, after the Liturgy, we always have a religious procession around the church with an icon; I also went last year. I wonder how it was this time.

Anna Weber

Yes, the holiday really suits the Vlachernskaya Church. After the liturgy there was actually a small cloister around the church, as always at this festival. Were you there yourself, Georg?

Дмитрий Соловьёв

Yes, in Kuzminki the religious procession with the icon is always so emotional. This year, Bishop Methodius also led the procession after the Liturgy, a lot of people gathered, even the rain didn’t stop it. Were you able to come this year?

Julia Wagner

Yes, I always liked the little cloister after the liturgy, especially when the weather was good. This time I wasn't in Kuzminki, but in our community, but the holiday remains one of my favorites. Was the choir as strong as last year?

Helena Schmidt

Yes, the little cloister afterwards is really beautiful, especially when the sun is shining. Unfortunately, this time our choir wasn't quite as strong as last year, a few voices were missing. Was everything well attended in your community?

Theresa Wagner

Yes, our choir really tried hard this time, especially with the celebratory songs. It was well attended in our community, although a few families with sick children were missing. Did you try the cake after the liturgy that the bakery from the neighboring community brought?

Julia Wagner

Yes, the cloister goes really well with the festival and the church. This time I wasn't in Kuzminki, but in our community, but I still remember how beautifully the choir sang there last year. Did you talk to anyone from the choir afterwards?

Claudia Wagner

Yes, the cloister in the sunshine is really something special, I would like to stay there longer. Our church was well filled, even more than last year, but our choir also had two fewer singers. Are you singing along again next Sunday?
