Хорошо, что памятник поставили прямо у Никольского храма. Теперь и в Шемышейке будет видно, кому молиться в дороге. Молодцы, что митрополит Серафим сам освятил.

It's good that they placed the monument right next to the Church of Saint Nicholas in Shemysheika. Metropolitan Seraphim consecrated him himself, together with Alexander and deacon Bogdan - this shows that they took him seriously. I hope we don't forget to light a candle the next time we pass by.

Nice to see the monument right by St. Nicholas Church in Shemysheika. Metropolitan Seraphim coming himself to bless it with Fr. Alexander and Deacon Bogdan shows they really cared about getting it done properly. I’ll have to light a candle there next time I’m driving through the district.

It's good that the monument is right next to the Nicholas Church in Shemysheyka. Metropolitan Seraphim himself came to consecrate it with Father Alexander and Deacon Bogdan - it is evident that they took it seriously. When passing such places, I always stop for a prayer to St. Nicholas, especially on the way.
