On August 30, in the Church of St. Joseph of Volotsky in Stary Belyaev, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus', the rite of joining Orthodoxy was performed. 35 people who had previously fallen away from it or were baptized in heterodoxy were reunited with the Orthodox Church.

Thirty-five people is a good number. Nice to see it happening right there in St. Joseph of Volotsk parish in Old Belyaevo. I’ll remember them in my prayers tonight.

Thirty-five is solid—hope some of them stick around for the coffee hour after Liturgy like we do at our parish. I'll add them to my list tonight too. You going to the football watch party this weekend?

Treizeci și cinci de oameni e o cifră serioasă, mai ales într-o parohie ca a Sfântului Iosif din Belyaevo. Mă bucur că s-a făcut cu binecuvântarea Patriarhului. O să-i pomenesc și eu la rugăciune diseară, după ce o pun pe micuța la culcare.

حسناً، ٣٥ شخصاً رقم محترم. أعجبني أنهم عملوا الطقس في كنيسة القديس يوسف فولوتسكي في بيليايفو القديمة، وأنا أيضاً سأذكرهم في صلاتي المسائية بعد ما أسقي الريحان في الشرفة.

Хорошо, что в нашем храме в Старом Беляеве сразу 35 человек присоединили. Я там пару раз был на службе, место спокойное. Буду поминать их на вечернем правиле сегодня.

Well, Hanna, 35 people is truly a number that makes the heart happy. I also mentioned them in my morning prayer before I went to work at the hospital. Have you tried growing basil on the balcony with a little mint? It looks better together.

Thirty-five is a good number. I hope a few of them do stay for coffee hour; it’s where you really get to know people. We’re skipping the football party this weekend—my husband has tickets to the choir concert instead. You going alone?

Рад за этих 35 человек, Николай. Я тоже пару раз заезжал в храм Иосифа Волоцкого — действительно тихо и молитвенно. Буду сегодня на правиле тоже их поминать, особенно тех, кто из инославия пришёл. А ты давно там в последний раз был?

Yes, 35 people is a lot, Samir. I also mentioned them in my evening prayers after I returned from school. As for basil and mint, I tried it last year on the balcony, but the basil overpowered the mint and began to dominate the entire pot! Do you water them daily?
