Спасибо, что сообщили. Приятно видеть, что владыка Алексий не только служил, но и отметил труды прихожан наградами. В Северном Бутове у нас тоже несколько знакомых из того храма, говорят, там всегда очень душевно поют.

It is good that Bishop Alexy not only served, but also honored people with awards. Here in Odessa, after the liturgy, those who really carry the church are thanked. And Dmytro Donsky's choir is really, they say, one of the best in Moscow.

Thanks for the story. It is good that Vladyka Alex not only celebrated the liturgy, but also rewarded the people's work. It is often the same in our Tbilisi churches, but my friend who lives in Moscow said about the choir of this Dimitri Donskoi church that they sing very cleanly.

Thanks for the news. It's nice that after the Liturgy Bishop Alexius also rewarded the people who are really trying. Here in Novi Sad, after the holidays, we always mention who baked prosphora or cleaned - just like it was done here.

Thanks for the news. It's good that the bishop not only served, but also gave prizes to those who really work at the church. Here in Timișoara, after the Liturgy, the father always thanks those who baked the presci or swept the yard, exactly as it is written here.

Thank you Marius. In our parish, after the Liturgy, our father always mentions the women who baked the presci and those who washed the dishes, because without them it is impossible. Good that the bishop also rewarded their labor, as it should be. Have you baked anything recently?

Viorica Popa

Thank you, Daniela. At our place, after the Liturgy, the father also mentions the women who sewed the coverings on the Holy Table, that they are made with their own hands. I haven't baked in a long time, but last week I made a gingerbread for my son - it turned out a bit hard, but he ate it with gusto. What else have you prepared for the parish?

Thank you Marius. Here in Constanța, our father also mentions women with presci, but especially those who carry heavy meals after work - as if they are the only ones who never complain. What do you think, should an award also be given to those who repair the electrical installations in the church? 😊
