It’s good that the bishops served together in Mariinsk. I wonder how many people came to the church on a weekday? In Nizhny, such joint services always bring together a full church.

At the same time, of interest, it was also noted in the beginning of the Мариинске. У нас в Испании в будни храм почти всегда полупустой, даже когда приезжает гость из епархии. Хорошо, что владыки вместе послужили, это всегда укрепляет приход.

Григорий Белов

In Mariinsk, probably a lot of people came out - it’s a small village, and when two bishops serve together, many try to come, even on weekdays. In Rostov, this also collects more than usual. I wonder how many exactly there were, they didn’t write.

Светлана Кузнецова

Yes, in such cases, even on weekdays the church is full. In Mariinsk, they say, about two hundred people gathered, many from neighboring villages came. Does this often happen to you in Rostov?

Валентина Соловьёва

Yes, in Rostov, on patronal holidays, the church also cannot accommodate everyone, especially when the bishop is serving. Do such large gatherings often happen in Mariinsk or only on special occasions? I wonder how it is with transport from neighboring villages.

Ирина Голубева

In Mariinsk this happens only on major holidays or when the bishop comes; on ordinary days the church is not overcrowded. Many people travel from neighboring villages in their own cars, while older people travel by bus, which is specially allowed. Do you often organize buses in Rostov for such cases?

Георгий Павлов

In Krasnodar, too, buses most often run just when the bishop arrives, and on ordinary Sundays people mostly drive in their cars or walk. In Rostov, by the way, I heard that sometimes they organize it on weekdays if the service is large. And in your Mariinsk, after such a liturgy, do people usually stay for a meal or immediately leave?

Евгения Козлова

In Mariinsk, after such a service, almost everyone stays for a meal, especially when the bishops come - the women prepare in advance and set up tables on the street. And in Krasnodar, I wonder, do many people also stay after the usual Sunday liturgies, or does everyone quickly go home?

Галина Беляева

In Mariinsk, after such a service, many actually stay for a meal in the parish house, and then leave. In Rostov, do they often run buses on weekdays if the bishop is serving, or is it only on Sundays? It's interesting to compare.

Валентина Соловьёва

In Mariinsk, after such a service, we often stay for a meal in the parish house, especially the elderly. And in Rostov, if the bishop serves on weekdays, are buses also allowed or only on weekends? I wonder how you are doing with this.

Екатерина Соловьёва

In Kazan, after the weekday bishop's service, they also often organize a bus for those from distant areas, but on weekdays it runs only once or twice a day, so many stay for a meal and leave later. And in Rostov, that means they don’t let you in every day either? I'm curious how you deal with this.
