It's good that they got together right on the holiday of "Neopalimaya Kupina". Father Alexii Troshin always speaks simply and to the point, and now he must have found the right words for them. It is good that the Ministry of Emergency Situations come to the church, their work is not easy.

I agree, Boris, it is very appropriate on this holiday - the icon protects against fire, and they fight it every day. Father Alexius really speaks without unnecessary words, last time, when I was in Kolomna, the same made an impression on me. I wonder if they stayed to light candles after the prayer or if they quickly went back to duty.
