It is good that the tradition of a procession on the Day of Family, Love and Loyalty has already taken root in Krasnoznamensk. It is nice that Father Ilya Saukov from Sidorovsky also came, and that prayers for Peter and Fevronia were offered on the Family Square. And a field kitchen after such a move is exactly what is needed, people are always happy.

It's good that the tradition of walking has already become a habit. It is pleasant that Father Ilya Saukov came from Sidorovskogo and that they stopped at the Sem'ye square at the prayer service for Peter and Fevronia. And after all that Polish cuisine - just as it should be, for people to get together and refresh themselves a bit.

It's good that the tradition of the patron saint and the cross on Family Day has already caught on in Krasnoznamensk. I liked that they stopped at the Family Square for the prayer to Peter and Fevronia and that Father Ilya Saukov from Sidorovskoe also came. A warm piece after so much walking is just what you need, especially with a field meal.

It's nice that the tradition of the Way of the Cross on the Day of Family, Love and Loyalty has already taken root in Krasnoznamensk. I was impressed that they stopped at Family Square to pray for Peter and Fevronia, and that Father Ilya Saukov from Sidorovsky also came. After such a walk, the field kitchen at the end near the church was certainly welcome.

It's nice that the Stations of the Cross have already become a permanent tradition and that they honored the monks Petru and Fevronija on the family square. It's good that father Ilja Saukov from Sidorovskoe was also there. And the field kitchen afterwards sounds like a real ending - in our choir after the service we usually only have cookies.

Yes, Taras, a field kitchen after a procession is always good, especially in such heat as it was that day. It is nice that Ilya's father joined, he is from Sydorovsky, and it is not closer. Did you go yourself or did you just hear?

Yes, I also appreciated the stop in Family Square – the prayer to St. Peter and Fevronia there had a clear purpose. Father Ilya came with his parishioners, it can be seen that the connection between the parishes is alive. As for the field meal, it was welcome after so much walking, especially as it rained a little in the morning and cooled us down.
