It is good that Patriarch Kirill drew attention to the day of prayer for God's creation. Here in Odessa, after the liturgy, we often remember how important it is to protect what the Lord has given - both the garden near the church and the sea. And the Moscow saints, by the way, have always been an example of firm faith in difficult times.

It's good that in Odesa, after the service, they mention the garden and the sea - it's really concrete. Here in Kharkiv, after the liturgy, we also often talk about not littering on the river, because it is also a creation. And tell me, Bohdan, which Moscow saint do you remember most as an example of firm faith?

Хороший момент, що ви в Одесі й Харкові після служби переходите від слів прямо до справи — садок біля храму, море, річка без сміття. Це й є справжнє піклування про творіння. А з московських святих мені завжди в пам’яті святитель Філарет Московський — як він усе життя точно і просто вчив, що віра без діла мертва.

For me, it is probably Metropolitan Filaret (Drozdov) - how he persistently taught and defended the faith all his life, even in difficult times. And for you, Stepan, which of the Moscow saints was most remembered for his firm faith? Here in Odessa, after the liturgy, we also often remember not to throw plastic into the sea, because fish are also creations.

I agree with Stepan, the most essential thing is to move from words to things. In Volos, after the service, we often pick up garbage on the path to Pelion that starts near Agios Konstantinos. Of the Muscovite saints, Saint Seraphim of Sarov, who lived so simply in nature, sticks with me the most. Which one is yours?

It's good that you in Odessa mention the garden near the church and the sea - it's really something you can hold in your hands. As for the Moscow saints, Metropolitan Filaret (Drozdov) was always closer to me, because he knew how to keep his faith firmly, and to talk about simple things, such as nature, without high words. Bohdan, what exactly do you plant in your garden after the liturgy?
