It’s good that the lower aisle is in honor of Elizabeth and Varvara. Father Andrey and Father Alexander served together - it’s nice to see such unity in the deanery. Here in Novosibirsk we also try to venerate Saint Elizabeth, especially in hospitals.

It's good that they dedicated the lower section to Elisabeth and Varvara, hospitals really need their help even today. Father Andrej and Father Aleksandar served together - this is a real example of what should be done in charity. Here in Podgorica, we also mention St. Elizabeth when it comes to mercy, especially in the hospital.
