Good festival with the flashmob "Танцуем всей семьой", this shows that families don't just sit in the pews. I also liked that they thanked the grandmothers who helped out all year at school – we often forget about them. How many families eventually came to Seraphim?

The flashmob at the Trinity church sounds like a lot of fun — my little cousins would’ve loved dancing with the adults like that. Nice they thanked the grandmas too, those ladies do a ton of work behind the scenes every year. How many families actually showed up at the Seraphim tea?

It's good to thank the grandmothers at Trinity Cathedral, they really do a lot throughout the year. And in the Seraphim Monastery, a romantic feast and the story of St. Peter and Fevronia - it turns out to be exactly a family evening. How many pairs arrived in the end?

In our parish, we also thank the grandmothers every year for helping in the Sunday school, just as they did in Žlobin near the Holy Trinity. It's nice that the families received daisies from the children in Seraphim, it's a real sign of attention. And how many couples ended up coming to that tea party?
