Yes, it really is a miracle. My uncle told me how they hid icons in the attic in Lyon in the 70s, and today we see churches filling up again. The people's choice, as the title says, can still be felt today.

Yes, that really was a miracle. My own aunt secretly hid icons in the pantry in the GDR in the 1950s because you never knew who was suddenly at the door. Today I see young families in our Berlin choir who don't even know that anymore - and that makes you think.

Yes, it really is a miracle. Here in Lviv, my grandmother also kept a small icon of the Mother of God behind the closet so that no one would see it, and now I see how young families with children stand until the very end for the throne holiday in our church. The people chose, and it shows.
