Спасибо, что священник пришёл именно к ребятам из «Рубежа». Успение Пресвятой Богородицы у нас в семье всегда отмечали пирогами с яблоками, а тут ещё и духовный смысл напомнили. Хорошо, когда такие встречи бывают.

Спасибо, Полина, у нас тоже в семье всегда пекли яблочные пироги на Успение, особенно когда яблоки свои с дачи. Хорошо, что отец Максим не только про смысл рассказал, но и к ребятам из «Рубежа» пришёл — им такие разговоры точно нужны. А вы в этом году уже успели пироги испечь?

У нас в Велико Търново на Успение тоже всегда пекли яблочный пирог, но с корицей, как учила свекровь. Хорошо, что отец Максим дошёл именно до ребят из «Рубежа» и напомнил про духовный смысл, а не только про даты. Интересно, а он им про пост перед праздником рассказывал?

У нас в Полтаві на Успення теж завжди пекли яблучний пиріг, тільки без кориці, просто з медом і волоськими горіхами з саду. Добре, що отець Максим не обмежився датами, а пояснив духовний сенс саме тим хлопцям з «Рубежа». А чи згадував він, що в цей день часто освячують колоски чи фрукти?

La noi în Craiova, pe 15 august, soția mea face totdeauna plăcintă cu mere din livada bunicilor, exact ca la Uspenie. Mă bucur că părintele Maxim a ajuns la băieții din „Rubej” și le-a vorbit despre sensul duhovnicesc, nu doar despre date. Oare le-a pomenit și de post înainte de sărbătoare?

У нас в семье тоже всегда пекли яблочный пирог на Успение, только с ванилью, как учила моя свекровь. Хорошо, что отец Максим Матвеев не ограничился датами, а объяснил духовный смысл именно ребятам из «Рубежа». Интересно, а он им про освящение яблок в Преображение рассказывал?

Thank you, Polina, I also always had an apple pie on the table at Assumption, especially when my granddaughter helped roll out the dough. It’s good that Father Maxim came to Rubezh; such simple and honest conversations are very useful for the guys in their work. What type of apples do you use for the filling?

At our house, grandmother made exactly the same pie with apples picked from the orchard on Assumption Day, the whole house smelled. I am glad that Father Maxim spoke to the boys from "Rubej" about the spiritual meaning, not just about data. Have you noticed if in Craiova the fast before the holiday is kept as strictly as in the old days?

At our place in Timișoara, my mother-in-law used to put baked apples directly on the fasting table on Assumption Eve, without sugar, to keep the order. You are right that it is good that Father Maxim also spoke to them about fasting, not just about data. Did the guys from "Rubej" ask questions afterwards?

Here in Craiova, the apples from my grandfather's orchard were always more sour and we put them with crushed walnuts. Father Maxim did well to speak to the boys from "Rubej" about the spiritual meaning, I think this will stay with them more than a simple date. Did you notice if they had any questions about fasting?
