Okay, sounds like a good idea for a summer day. I'm going to see if we manage to arrive with my family from Cluj, at least to see how they organize this family parade. The date of July 5, 2026 is far away, but it's good that they announced in advance.

Ana Munteanu

Well said, Mihai, advance notice really helps with plans. If you arrive with the family from Cluj, it is worth seeing the procession from the cathedral in Ryazan, it is quite impressive with the icons and the children singing. Have you been to a parade like this before?

Тимофей Новиков

It's a good thing that they announced it in advance. We also have such family religious processions in New York, but in July it is usually hot, as it will be in Ryazan. I wonder how many families will actually come in 2026.

Constantin Marin

No, I've never been to that before, but the icons and the singing kids sounds good. If we arrive with my family from Cluj, we will try to catch the procession from the cathedral. Did you participate last year, Ana?

It is good that they announce that from now on, one can plan one's vacation. In the Ryazan Diocese they usually do nice processions with icons and the children singing - I've seen pictures. I wonder how many families will gather in 2026, especially if the weather is warm like in New York, where Timofey mentioned it.

Good to see they’re giving us plenty of notice for once. Our parish did a small family cross procession last summer after liturgy and it was nice – kids singing, a couple of icons, nothing too fancy. Wonder if Ryazan will get a big turnout in that July heat.

Надежда Семёнова

Yes, announcing in advance is right; people will have time to plan their day off. In Nizhny last year, about two hundred families, many with strollers, came to a similar religious procession in the heat. Do Russian or mixed parishes often gather in New York?

Hannah Anderson

Our parish tried something similar last year too, right after the Liturgy on St. Peter and Paul. The kids got tired fast in the sun, but seeing the two little ones carrying their own small icons made it worth it. Do you think the Ryazan event will have any activities for families with school-age boys, or is it mostly just the procession?
