Рад за Луговое, что мирополит Зерафим сам приехал на простольный. Father Vadim and father Alexander served well, obviously, the people gathered. And how many people prayed, didn't they write?

Кирил Стоянов

It's good that Metropolitan Seraphim came, this is always support for the small income. Father Vadim and Father Alexander have been serving for a long time, it is obvious that the people love them. It's a pity that they didn't write how many people there were, it's interesting.

It's good that Lord Serafim came personally, it's always a great joy for the little boy. Father Wadim and Father Aleksander served together, it is a tradition in this district. It's a pity that they didn't say how many people gathered, I'm also curious.

I agree, Cyril, the presence of the bishop really invigorates the small parishes. For people, there were about 70-80, as far as I could see from the side, most of them local. Have you been to Lugovoe recently?

Красимира Маркова

Yes, the bishop always brings such a warm atmosphere, especially in small places like Lugovoe. 70-80 people sounds good for the church there, glad they are mostly locals. I haven't been recently, but the next time I'm in the Kaliningrad region, I'll try to stop by. And you, what brings you there?

Вера Новикова

I’m glad for Lugovoe that Metropolitan Seraphim came. Father Vadim also served in Yaroslavl once, I remember how well he preached sermons. And 70–80 people for such a small church is not bad at all, especially if almost all of them are their own.

Иван Атанасов

Well said, Cyril, the bishop really gives courage to such small churches. I, on the other hand, am glad that Fathers Vadim and Alexander are continuing together - I remember them from the previous holiday there. And what do you think, will more people come next year?

Тамара Семёнова

Yes, Vera, Father Vadim and in our district the sermons are always sensible, people listen attentively. And 70–80 people are really good for Lugovoy, especially when almost all the locals come. What church are you praying in in Yaroslavl now?

Методи Атанасов

I agree, Atanas, the bishop really gives weight to such holidays. I was there two weeks ago for the baptism of a child of our acquaintances and the church seemed well maintained. Are you from Sofia following the Kaliningrad news or do you have connections there?

Светлана Соловьёва

Father Vadim really knows how to speak simply and to the point, without unnecessary words. In Lugovoye, almost all of our people came, even from neighboring houses. In Yaroslavl, which church do you usually go to on Sundays?

Мариана Тодорова

No, I haven't set foot in Lugovoe for two years, the last time was on an ordinary Sunday and then there were a lot less people. 70-80 people on a feast day is a really good number for such a place. And do you go there often?

Кирил Стоянов

Yes, Bishop Seraphim really supports such small churches, you can see. Fathers Vadim and Alexander work well together, and I hope that next year more people will come from the surrounding villages. Will you come again, Ivan?

Румяна Петрова

No, I rarely go to Lugovoe, the last time was a year ago for a baptized person. 70-80 people is really a decent number for such a small village, especially considering how many people now prefer to stay at home. And why did you stop going there?
