I don’t remember exactly, but in the first issue there was definitely a note about the opening of a new chapel in a church on the outskirts of Kemerovo. And 986th, it turns out, is already almost a thousand. Time flies as my Easter pies disappear from the table.
Oh, Nadezhda, your Easter pies really fly away in a minute, I saw you last year as a guest. And the first issue of the ark, it turns out, began with me, when we just moved to the store on Sovetskaya. I wonder if that issue about the new chapel is preserved somewhere?
Do you remember that in that first issue there was also a photograph with Father Alexander at the new chapel? I had just gotten a job at the store on Sovetskaya, flipping through the latest issue between customers. It’s a pity that I didn’t save it, now I would have seen how everything has changed over the years.
I don’t remember exactly, but in the first issue, it seems, they wrote about the opening of a new church in Prokopyevsk and about how the priest from Mezhdurechensk took the icon of the Kazan Mother of God around the villages. Since what year have you been assembling the ark?
