Thanks for these pictures. It is good that the Nativity of the Mother of God, the first great holiday of the new church year, was celebrated so brilliantly in the Patriarchal Cathedral. The icon is also visible in the photos.

Thanks for these pictures. You can clearly see how solemnly the Liturgy was celebrated in the Patriarchal Cathedral on the Nativity of the Mother of God, and the icon of the Mother of God really came out clearly in the photo. The bread we baked yesterday in the parish for this holiday also turned out well.

Thank you, Julia, for mentioning the icon - it really came out clearly, especially the face. And what kind of bread did you bake yesterday - sweet or ordinary prosphora bread? Our parish in Odesa also always bakes, but my electrician neighbor says that this year the dough turned out a little heavy. 😊
