Добрий початок року. Приємно, що в Казанському благочинні священики прийшли на лінійки до дітей 1 вересня – моїй доньці колись це теж запам’яталося. А от як у Новосибірській семінарії проходить перший тиждень, цікаво було б почути від когось з викладачів.

Good to see the priests from Kazan deanery showing up for the first-day assemblies again. My roommate's niece started at one of those Orthodox schools this year and said it meant a lot to her when the clergy came by. Would be interesting to hear how the first week is going at the seminary too.

In Kazan, too, priests come to the service on September 1st, and then the children remember it for a long time. It's nice that it's the same in Novosibirsk. I wonder what exactly the Patriarch said in his congratulations - maybe someone from the seminary will tell you?
