The service on the day of Saints Peter and Paul at the church in Novaia Basmannaia looks beautiful. Bishop Seraphim served there as first deputy of the Editorial Board – I wonder if he also talked about the prints after Mass. Anyway, it's good that there was a big holiday service.

Good service on the day of Peter and Paul. It’s interesting that Bishop Seraphim is the first deputy of the Publishing Council - perhaps after the liturgy he actually said something about books or new publications. In Voronezh, on such a holiday, there are always a lot of people, and then the dog smells incense from the cassock all day long.

Yes, the job was beautiful, I saw the pictures too. I don't know if he talked about prints after Mass, but Bishop Seraphim is always connected with books and publications. Were you there at church?

Bogdan Barbu

Yes, I went to the service, I sat further back near the iconostasis on the right. Bishop Seraphim really mentioned about the new printings from the Patriarchate Publishing House, I found it interesting what he said about the book with the lives of the holy apostles. What else have you read from them lately?

Constantin Tudor

Yes, I also went to the Liturgy, but I sat more towards the middle. Bishop Seraphim even talked a little about the new book with the lives of the apostles after the service, I remembered what he said about how Peter and Paul teach us to be patient in trials. Have you read anything recently from Patriarchiei Publishing House?
