It's a shame, the church on Mount Washington was the real orientation for the whole area. I hope she didn't suffer much inside and that they will restore her quickly.

Георгий Павлов

It's a pity for the church, it really was like a beacon for all of Mount Washington. I hope the inside is not damaged too much and it will be restored. In Krasnodar, we also take care of old churches; without them, the area is not the same.

Yes, that church could be seen from half the city, it really served as a landmark. I hope that the damage is mostly external and that they will restore it as soon as possible. Did you hear if any of the parishioners reported anything about the interior?

Ana Jovanović

Yes, she could be seen from every part of the city, whenever I crossed the bridge I would spot her immediately. I heard from an aunt from the parish that the damage inside was less than feared, mostly smoke and water, the icons and the altar survived without major damage. And you, do you have any close acquaintances there?

Danica Ristić

Yes, it was a landmark, every time I went to the South Side I would immediately see it. I hope they fix it soon, I heard they have already started cleaning. Do you have anything to do with that parish or were you just passing by?
