Thank God, they survived. The icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary was on the main nave, I saw it in the picture that the parish installed. The wind was strong, but tropars were beautifully sung the whole way.
Thank God, I was worried about that wind too. It's nice that the icon was on the main nave, it's exactly the one we had at last year's celebration in the church. Did you see if they also sang "Save, Lord, Your people" on the way back?
Yes, I was a little scared of that wind too, but the icon was really nicely placed on the main ship. They sang "Save, Lord, Your people" on the way back, I heard clearly. Were you at the celebration last year when the same icon was with us in the church?
I was also worried about the wind, but they calmed it down quickly. The icon is the same one from last year's show, I recognized it immediately. Were you on the ship or were you watching from the shore?
I was on the shore near the pier, the wind was really strong at first. The icon is the same, the one from the Church of St. Nicholas, certainly recognizable. Did you go to the party itself last year?
I was on the boat, the wind was really blowing, but it died down quickly when we set off. The icon is the same, the one from St. Nicholas, it's nice that they bring it back. Were you at the party last year or just looking at the pictures?
I watched from the shore near the old pier, the wind really hit in the beginning but calmed down really quickly. The icon is the same, I immediately recognized it by the frame. And you were on the ship this year?
