Last year I was in Usovo on the same route, from the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands to Ilyinsky they walked quietly and very soulfully. This year I will also try to arrive by 8:30, if only the weather doesn’t let me down on September 27th. Does anyone know whether after the Liturgy there will be a common meal or only on buses?

Last year I was also in Usovo, I remember how from the Church of the Savior we walked along the path along the river, quietly and calmly. Svetlana, don’t you know, this time there will also be buses only in one direction or back too? A meal after the move is usually organized, but nothing was written about it in the announcement.

Katya, last year I also walked along that path along the river - it was very quiet, only birds and steps could be heard. Buses, as far as I understood from last time, are only in one direction from Usov, the return trip is usually on foot or depending on how you get there. As for the meal, they are really silent in the announcement, maybe they decided not to do it this year, or they will say later. Are you planning this year too?

Last year I also walked along that path along the river from Usov, it was very peaceful. Buses seemed to only go there; many people got back on their own. Are you planning to come again this year?
