Well said about beauty. In Yaroslavl we also often sing after church services, and it’s true that your soul immediately becomes lighter. But in the world around there is really little of it.

After Sunday liturgy, we also sometimes sing in the refectory, and it’s true that after this you go home as if it were easier. But about “there is not enough beauty in the world” - it was accurately noted, even in the garden there are now fewer flowers than before. Thanks for the article.

Sergei accurately noticed about Yaroslavl - after the service there, singing really calms the soul, as if the whole day was starting all over again. In Novosibirsk we also sometimes sing after the liturgy, but in the city there really is not enough beauty, especially in the gray courtyards. What kind of church do you have, where do they sing most often?
