Thanks for the article. I was happy to see that it started with the moleben at the church on the Ivanovski cemetery, right in front of the icon of Saint Dalmatia. Father Grigorie Gerasimov served with piety, as befits such a holiday.

It's good that they started with a prayer service at the Ivanovo cemetery in front of the icon of Reverend Dalmat. Father Hryhoriy always serves diligently, I know him. It's a pity that he couldn't go, but he prayed in his heart for the entire Kamensk diocese.

Thanks for the article. It's good that they started with a prayer at the Ivanovo cemetery in front of the icon of St. Dalmatian. I often see father Grigol Gerasimov with such simple and sincere service.

Yes, the monk Dalmat really started it all, without him the place wouldn't exist today. It's nice that they first sang Moleben in front of his icon at the Ivanovski cemetery, that's fitting. Father Grigori always does it so neatly, you can feel that he is serious.

Theresa Wagner

Yes, exactly, without the holy Dalmatian there probably wouldn't be Kamensk-Uraljski at all. I liked that they did the Moleben directly in the Ivanovski Cemetery, where he is buried. I know Father Grigori from the choir; he really doesn't do anything half-heartedly.

Тодор Иванов

It's good that they started right with the prayer at the Ivanovo cemetery in front of the icon of Reverend Dalmat. Father Grigoriy Gerasimov always serves calmly and in order, as is his turn. It's a pity that it doesn't say what happened next, I hope everything went peacefully.

Марія Ткаченко

It is good that Father Hryhoriy served the prayer right there, near the icon on Ivanovsky. I couldn't go either, but at home I read the akathist to Dalmat Isetskyi. Do you often visit that church, Ivan?

Величка Ангелова

I agree, Todor, they should have started right from the prayer service at the Ivanovo cemetery - it is calmest there and close to the relics. Father Gregory really served without unnecessary movements, as it should be. If there are pictures from afterwards, I hope they upload them, because I'm also curious about how the procession went.

Мариана Иванова

Yes, Todor, the prayer service right there at the Ivanovo cemetery is the most appropriate beginning. Father Gregory always serves in such a way that one is calmed down from the very first words. And were you at the prayer itself or are you just reading?

Виолета Попова

Yes, Velichka, I also think that the prayer at the Ivanovo cemetery is the most correct beginning - it is really quiet there and close to the relics. Father Gregory serves exactly as he should, without distraction. If they upload photos of the procession, I will look at them with pleasure, especially if there is also a close-up of the icon.

Теодора Петрова

Yes, precisely at the Ivanovo cemetery, the prayer always sounds more special, as if the holy fathers of the past are also around. I was there on Sunday, but I was not able to make it to the prayer itself - only for the evening prayer. And you, Mariana, did you stay after the service for the conversation with Father Gregory?

Борис Петров

No, I wasn't at the prayer service, I just read. It's good that they started right there on Ivanovsko, where it is quiet and close to the graves of the old. If you know if they had a procession afterwards or if they only stayed in the church, tell me - I'm curious how they did it this year.

Десислава Костова

Yes, precisely at the Ivanovo cemetery, the prayer seems to reach a person more easily. I was there on Wednesday morning, managed to stay until the end and then took some of the prosphora home. You, Mariana, what made you write exactly about Father Gregory?

Николай Христов

Yes, it is really calmer at the Ivanovo cemetery and it is easier to concentrate. I also took the prosphora last time, my wife cut it into pieces for the whole week. And you, Desislava, do you often go there on Wednesday mornings?

Методи Попов

No, I didn't go to the prayer either, I just read. After the prayer, they made a small procession around the church, then went inside for the liturgy. It is interesting that they started right on Ivanovsko - it is really peaceful there and one remembers the old people. Do you often go to cemeteries?

Николай Костов

No, I missed the prayer too, just read the report. It's interesting that they started right on Ivanovsko Street - it's really quiet there and one thinks about my grandparents. I go to the cemetery once or twice a year, usually before Dimitrovden, how about you?
