Thanks for the report. Nice to see Fr Kirill there and the two choirs singing together – must have sounded proper. Did many come from outside the village?

Pablo Romero

Thanks for the report. I'm glad that Father Kirill was there and that the two choirs sang together, it sure sounded great. Did many people come from outside the town?

Alexandra Rusu

Thanks for the news. It's nice that archpriest Kirill came and thanked everyone who works hard at the church. Did the singers in the two choirs rehearse together beforehand, or did they get along on the fly?

Thanks for the report. It is good that Father Kirill thanked everyone who works for the church. If the two choirs sang together, it would be interesting if they had rehearsed beforehand or if they agreed immediately.

Matthew Thomas

Yeah, Fr. Kirill always makes it a point to show up for these. The two choirs did blend well, especially on the longer hymns. Maybe twenty or so came from neighboring parishes, not a huge crowd but enough to fill the church nicely.

Александр Киселёв

It's good that Fr. Kirill came and thanked everyone who was working. Two choirs under the direction of D. Bernadsky - this probably sounded especially beautiful on “It Is Worthy.” Did about twenty people really come from neighboring parishes?

Thank you Lela, I also liked that Father Kirill personally thanked all the workers. The two choirs sang together and performed very smoothly, probably they had agreed beforehand, because D. Under the leadership of Bernadsky, everything was in order. What do you think, does it happen often or less often?

Елена Смирнова

Yes, oh. Kirill always thanks you warmly, it’s nice. Two choirs sang really well, especially “It Is Worthy” - even I, not a big fan of singing, listened to it. But from the neighboring parishes, in my opinion, there were definitely about thirty people, no less.

Максим Воробьёв

Yes, Elena, “It’s Worth It” was really soulful for them, even I noticed. And thirty people from neighboring parishes is good, it means they haven’t forgotten about Ostashovo. What parish did you come from this time?
