Thanks for the news. It is good that Father Alexandru spoke about the meaning of the holiday and made a special prayer for those who put out the fire. The "Neopalimă Rug" icon is suitable for them, to keep them healthy and with a clear mind on duty.

Yes, I also think that the icon was chosen very appropriately. I once went to a job with her in Constanța and I remembered how the local firefighters always had her at the station. Do you think it would be good if Father Alexandru came to us with such a meeting?

Yes, the Fireproof Blackberry icon is spot on for them. I remember how in our garage service in Varna, a colleague always kept a small icon on the bus dashboard, especially in the summer when the grass was burning. I wonder if they would accept such a prayer in your place in Rezina at the fire station.
