Thanks for the announcement. It is interesting that the icon of the Prophet Elijah by Annusaka stands on the iconostasis in Ndamilis - this is an old tradition. I will try to escape to the vespers on Sunday, because I love such eulogies in the mountains.

It is interesting that you mentioned the Annusaka icon in particular - I also paid attention when I was there last year for the canonization. An evening in the mountains is always special, especially when singing in the fresh air. If you break free, tell me, maybe I'll get fit after work from Vinnytsia.

Yes, Taras, Annusaki knew well how to convey the fire of the prophet on the icon - in our church, it also immediately catches the eye. If you go to the party, take a warmer jacket, because it gets cold quickly in the mountains after sunset. Maybe we'll meet there?

Максим Шевченко

Yes, Lesya, Annusaki really masterfully conveyed that fiery look to Ilya, in our church you also immediately notice her. I'll take the jacket, thanks for the advice, because last year after the party, I didn't get a tooth on a tooth. And who are you going with, maybe we can sit together?

Юлія Марченко

Yes, Maxim, Annusaki really well conveyed that fire in Ilya's eyes, immediately catches the eye on the iconostasis. I also always take a jacket, because after the evening in Damialis, the wind from the sea makes its way to the bones. And who are you planning to go with, maybe we will go together?

Олег Мельник

Yes, Julius, Annusaki really caught that determined look of Ilya, immediately noticeable. I also always take a jacket, because after the evening in Damialis, the wind from the sea picks up. And in which car are you driving, maybe I'll give you a lift, because my wife and I are leaving at six o'clock?
