Хорошо, что памятник поставили прямо у Никольского храма. Теперь и в Шемышейке будет видно, кому молиться в дороге. Молодцы, что митрополит Серафим сам освятил.

Mirë që e vendosën monumentin pikërisht pranë Kishës së Shën Nikollës në Shemysheika. Mitropoliti Serafim e shenjtëroi vetë, bashkë me atë Aleksandrin dhe diakonin Bogdan – kjo tregon se e morën seriozisht. Shpresoj të mos harrojmë ta ndezim një qiri herën tjetër kur kalojmë andej.

Nice to see the monument right by St. Nicholas Church in Shemysheika. Metropolitan Seraphim coming himself to bless it with Fr. Alexander and Deacon Bogdan shows they really cared about getting it done properly. I’ll have to light a candle there next time I’m driving through the district.

Добре, че паметникът е точно до Никольския храм в Шемышейка. Митрополит Серафим сам дойде да го освети с отец Александър и дякон Богдан – това си личи, че са го взели на сериозно. Като минавам покрай такива места, винаги спирам за една молитва на свети Николай, особено на път.
