On the eve of the celebration of the discovery of the relics of St. Mitrofan, Bishop of Voronezh, Metropolitan Alexy of Chelyabinsk and Miass performed an evening service with polyeleos in the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the village of Solnechny.

Спаси Господи, владико! Добре, що помазували єлеєм саме під час канону, а не після. Поговорка про неблагодарного чоловіка й у нас у Львові від старших чули, дід мій часто повторював. Храм у Сонячному, бачу, вже 14 років стоїть міцно після освячення.
