Good to see the volunteers still plugging away at those altar walls. The title’s prayer “Пресвятая Богородица, помогай нам!” feels exactly right for that kind of slow, steady work. Keep at it, folks.

It's good that volunteers don't throw away the work. In Ilyinsk, the altar was always strong, and now the walls are slowly being raised - you can see that it is with prayer. Holy Mother of God, help them further.

It's good that they don't quit. Last year I was in Ilyinsky - the altar stood almost bare then, but now the walls have already noticeably risen. Most Holy Theotokos, continue to help them.

It's good that volunteers don't give up. Last year when I was in the Vologda region, they told me how old that iconostasis in Ilyinskoe is, and now the walls of the altar are slowly rising. Holy Mother of God, help them further.
