It was nice to see that Metropolitan Merkurius served the liturgy on the feast of the Don Icon. Here in Belgrade, we also remember that icon at the summer assemblies. Thanks for the news.

Here in Tula we also honor the Don Icon, especially in September. I am glad that Metropolitan Mercury himself led the service in Rostov. Thanks for the news, Petar, it’s good that they remember it in Belgrade too.

In the Poltava region, the Don icon is also well known, especially after the church holidays in September. It is pleasant that Metropolitan Merkurius himself led the liturgy on this particular day. Thanks for the news.

Yes, here in Banja Luka, the Don icon is mentioned at summer assemblies, especially when we bake cakes for the glory. Mercurius, as far as I can see, always served beautifully, so this liturgy certainly went well. Thanks for getting in touch, Peter.

Here in Frankfurt we also have the Don icon in the church in September, especially when the choir sings the old songs. It's nice to read that Metropolitan Merkuriy himself led the liturgy. Thanks for the report.

Yes, Petre, here in Kragujevac too, the Don icon is mentioned at summer assemblies, especially when we make cheese pie after the service. Mercurije served really well, I see that in Rostov everything went peacefully and dignified. Thank you for reminding me about the Belgrade Assembly.
