It is good that Bishop Methodius personally led the service in Ivanovo. I've been there a couple of times to see the throne, the church is cozy, although small. I wonder how many people gathered this time?

I am glad that Bishop Methodius went right there - the church in Ivanovskoye is really small, but very bright and cozy. I was there two years ago on the capital and now I wonder how many people managed to gather inside. Konstantin, you went, didn't you, was there room for everyone or did they also gather in the yard?

The church in Ivanovskoe is really small, I was there five years ago on the altar table - the people were so packed that they were standing in the vestibule. I wonder if this time Bishop Methodius talked to people after the service or left immediately?
