After all, this is the most important thing in the world. The next day is 1330 hours. There is also a lot of information on this topic. It's too late - and it's too late, too. Иоакима с Анной — вместе служили in такой день.

Indeed, the details about his martyrdom in Al-Dhahabiya in the year 1330 are very important. They make us remember how faith was tested in the most difficult circumstances. I personally like that the two churches in Alexino serve together on days like these, it gives a feeling of unity. Have you visited the place before?

Yes, Vladyka spoke well about the martyrdom of Prince Theodore in the Horde in 1330, I also read more about it after that. It is interesting that both churches in Aleksino worked together on such a day. Do Sayakina and Zhelobanova often attend services or only for throne services?

Yes, I remembered how the bishop talked about the martyrdom of Feodor in the Golden Horde in 1330. Until now I only vaguely knew the story. It is also interesting that the two churches in Alexino served together precisely on his day, plus that Mrs. Sayakina and Jélobanova also came.

Yes, the bishop definitely reminded me well about the year 1330 and the Horde, I also looked it up later in the life. The churches of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary and Joachim and Anna in Aleksino always gather together on such days, this is already a tradition. And Sayakina and Zhelobanova, in my opinion, come to the altar ceremonies more often; on ordinary Sundays I see them less often.

No, I have not visited Alexino yet, but I hope to go and see the two churches together, especially on the feast of Saint Feodor. The details about his martyrdom in 1330 really make us think about how faith remained strong under pressure. Did you visit the place?
