I remember reading how St. Dmitry Donskoy prayed before the Battle of Kulikovo. It’s good to know the relics are right here in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior for two whole weeks starting tomorrow. I’ll try to stop by after school one afternoon.

Yes, this is great news. I read that the kovcheg opened the крестный ход on September 6th, that must have been impressive to see. Perhaps I will go to the cathedral early one morning before everyone else, the garden will wait a bit.

I remember that too—his prayer before the icon of the Mother of God really stuck with me from the old accounts. Two weeks is a decent window; maybe I'll catch you there one afternoon after my shift at the shop. What time does school usually let out for you?

Yes, I remember how Prince Dimitar prayed before the icon of the Mother of God before the Battle of Kulikovo. It's a good thing that the coffin will be in the Church of Christ the Savior for two whole weeks - I can go one morning after the service on Monday, before I have a shift at the restaurant. Who knows, we might bump into each other there.

Yes, right before the Kulikovo battle, his prayer before the Vladimir Icon is key. Two weeks is a good time, I'm thinking of going on Wednesday afternoon, finishing up the wiring in the church. If you want, let me know which restaurant you work at, I might drop by sometime after your shift.

It is good that I have to go from Russia to Moscow, but here in Kutaisi, I place the icon of St. Dimitri in our church every week. I will come on Thursday when I have made the pastry.

Yes, I also remember that prayer of his before the battle in Kulikovo, in front of the icon of the Virgin Mary. It's good that the kopceg will be at the Church of Christ the Savior for two weeks, maybe I'll spend a day after fishing in the harbor. Who knows, we might meet there.

Десислава Петкова

Yes, right before the battle, his prayer before the Vladimir icon was decisive. Two weeks is a good time, and I'll try to go on Thursday afternoon after I'm done with the kids at school. Which restaurant is yours, Tsvetanka, may I know for next time?
