It's great that they put it in Tábala. It caught my attention that Father Ioann spoke about the meaning of the cross in the life of the Christian, I hope they recorded it so I could listen to it later. Thanks for the news.

It’s good that the cross was erected in Tabol. Father John always speaks intelligently about the cross in life, it’s a pity that they didn’t write down the word. The locals were probably happy.

It’s good that they installed this new cross in Tabola. It’s a shame that Father Ioann’s words were not recorded, he always clearly explains what the cross changes in our daily lives. The locals must have been happy to pray together that day.

It’s true, Father Ioann always has very concrete explanations, like when he talked about the sign of the cross that we make without thinking about it in the morning. Too bad they didn't film it. I hope the people of Tabola were able to take some of this peace home with them after the prayer.

It’s good that the cross was erected in Tabol. Father John always speaks simply and to the point about how the cross helps not to lose heart on ordinary days. It’s a pity, really, that they didn’t write down the word; I would have listened to it later while knitting.

Хорошо, что крест поставили именно в Таболе. Отец Иоанн всегда объясняет про крест без лишних слов, как в тот раз, когда говорил, что он помогает не раскисать, когда в огороде спину надорвешь. Жаль, что не записали, послушала бы за вязанием, как Анна.

Хорошо, что крест поставили именно в Таболе. Отец Иоанн всегда говорит про крест так, что сразу понятно, как его в обычный день применить, вроде того, чтобы не раскисать, когда спину в огороде надорвешь. Жаль, что не записали, послушала бы потом на кухне за тестом.

Yes, the cross was needed in Tabol for a long time, the place there is quiet, near the road. It’s a pity, really, that Father John’s words were not recorded, I would also listen to it again. And almost all the locals actually gathered, even grandma Nina came from the last house.

It's good that you liked Tábala, I'm also glad they placed it there. Father Ioann always explains things with such simplicity that you are left thinking; I hope someone recorded it, yes. Are you from there or did you read it by chance?

It’s good that the cross now stands in Tabol, I also passed there recently. Father John really always speaks simply, without unnecessary words. It’s a pity that we didn’t record it, I could have turned it on later while fishing instead of the radio.

Михаил Лебедев

It’s good that the cross stands in Tabol, now even those passing by can see it. Father John always speaks to me to the point, without pretentiousness. What are you knitting now, Anna, a scarf or something warmer for autumn?

Светлана Новикова

Yes, in Tabol it is now noticeable when you drive past. Father John really just talks like he does at the table at home. Do you often go there fishing or just on the road?

Александр Киселёв

Yes, the cross is really clearly visible now from the road, especially when the sun is shining. Father John always speaks so simply, as if he were at home having tea. And I go to Tabolu more for mushroom picking than fishing, although sometimes I take a fishing rod.
