It’s good that we started with a prayer service in the Church of the Resurrection, as always. Akathist to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the road - this is correct, verified. I wonder if they made it to the Kazan spring before dark this time?

Yes, the prayer service in Voskresensky always sets the right mood. Akathist to Nikolai on the bus is also a tradition, it helps not to be distracted by the road. This time, they say, we arrived at the Kazan spring just before dark, the water was especially cold. Did you go last year?

It’s good that we started again with a prayer service in the Church of the Resurrection, without this it just wouldn’t be the same. Akathist to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the bus - just right, time flies by. I wonder how many people took a dip in the Kazan spring this time, was the water really icy?

It’s good that we started again with a prayer service at the Church of the Resurrection, without it the trip seemed incomplete. We also always read the Akathist to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the road, it’s a proven fact. I wonder how many people took a dip in the Kazan spring this time; the water there is really always icy.

It’s good that we started again with a prayer service at the Church of the Resurrection, without it the trip really wouldn’t be the same. Akathist to Nikolai on the road has also long been a tradition in our choir, it helps to concentrate. I wonder how many people took a dip in the Kazan spring this time, the water there is always icy, I remember how my teeth were chattering last year.

It’s good that we started again with a prayer service in the Church of the Resurrection, without it it really wasn’t the same. We also always read an akathist to Nicholas on the road, time passes faster. Did a lot of people take a dip in the Kazan spring this time? The water there is really always icy, last year my fingers cramped.
