The church in Andreevka has been standing for 350 years, and I didn’t even know. It’s good that Bishop Kirill came specifically to celebrate the Assumption. The choir under the direction of Tatyana Vorobyova always sings soulfully, and this time it was probably beautiful.

The church in Andreevka has been standing for 350 years, and I only just learned about it from the news. It’s good that Vladyka Kirill came specifically for the celebration of the Assumption, and that so many deans gathered. I wonder if Tatiana Vorobyova’s choir sang “Our Father” or some of the Assumption chants?

Katerina, I too did not know about the 350 years of the church in Andreevka until I read the article. The Despot Cyril chose well the day of the performance of the Fifteenth of August, so it matched the festival. Do you think that Tatiana Vorobieva's dance sang something from the Theotokos or did she prefer the usual program?

Yes, the choice of rendering the Fifteenth of August was indeed clever, it fit perfectly with the 350 years. I would say that Tatiana Vorobieva's dance probably retained something of Theotokiya, because the day was still in the celebration; it would not have been possible for them to ignore it completely. How do you imagine it?
