Спаси Господи, владыка. Хорошо, что в этом храме, post-icon and protector Otherwise, you will be able to pay your money. Interesting, how many times did it take place this evening?

Lucie Nováková

God save the lord. That church is dedicated to the Defense of the Fatherland, so an evening vigil on a working day makes sense there. Michel is right, I would also be interested in how many people came - here in Prague there would have been a few babushkas on a Tuesday evening.

God save you, lord. The church was named in honor of the icon and defenders of the Fatherland - it is correct that it was there that they spent the all-night service on such a day. I wonder if there were more people than usual on a weekday evening, or if it was like everyone else - mostly people who live nearby.

Спаси Господи, владыка. Хорошо, что всенощную провели именно в этом храме, где икона и защитники Отечества вместе. Interesting, in reality it was quite a lot. обычного, или в основном те, кто живёт рядом, как у Максима написано.

God bless you, sir. The church in honor of the Vladimir Oran Icon and the defenders of the Fatherland is a suitable place for such an all-night vigil. I wonder if there were more people than usual on a weekday evening, or if it was mostly locals who live near the church?

Yes, the church unites the image of the Virgin well with the memory of the defenders, that is felt. I think that on a weekday more people came than usual, because several acquaintances of mine from the clinic came after work just for the news. Have you ever been to that parish, Carlos? It seems to me that there were more people than normal, because my next-door neighbor, the one who sews with me on Tuesdays, told me that she went with her husband after dinner just because of the metropolitan's visit. Do you think that the church always attracts like this when there is an icon festival?

Олег Олійник

Yes, Maksym, I agree - the combination of the icon with the defenders of the Motherland turned out to be appropriate for this day. I also wondered if there was a large turnout: neighbors said there were noticeably more people than on a normal weekday evening, especially after work. And where do you follow Nizhny from?

Marie Černá

Yes, that church is really dedicated to the defense of the Fatherland, so the evening vigil on Tuesday fits. It wouldn't be full here in Pilsen either, more like a few regulars and one or two mothers with children. I would also be interested in how many people there were in the end.

María Sánchez

Yes, the combination of the Virgin and the defenders is very natural in that church. I passed by there once after planting some flowers in the garden at home and I was surprised by how collected it feels. Do you usually go during the week or rather on Sundays, Mateo?

Paula López

Yes, that image of the Virgin with the defenders has always seemed very accurate to me, especially in a place as quiet as that. I usually stop by during the week, after the store closes, because there are fewer people and you can be quiet for a while. And you, María, did you plant anything again this year in the garden?
