It is good that Father Valeriy from the Intercession Church served the prayer service. I saw how he always spoke to people calmly and humanely. And this year's honey, they say, turned out to be especially fragrant, I have already tried linden from Polotsk.

It's good that Father Valerios performed the consecration, I have also seen him calmly talking to the people. The fat honey from Polotsk that Taras says must be good, I got a jar last year and it lasted all winter. May they make as much next year.
