Дякую за розповідь. Особливо зачепило, що паломники причастилися в Скановому жіночому монастирі і поклонилися Трубчевській іконі Божої Матері. Монахиня Єннафа, мабуть, гарно розповіла, бо завжди цікаво почути від місцевої насельниці. А в Салолейку родники теж заїжджали?

Евгения Комарова

Рада, что пензенские паломники заехали в Сканов и Салолейку. У нас в Туле тоже была похожая поездка пару лет назад, особенно запомнилось, как монахиня Еннафа рассказывала про Трубчевскую икону — просто и по делу. А родники в Салолейке правда такие целебные, как говорят?

Ксения Фёдорова

Yes, nun Yennafa knows how to tell things so simply and clearly that everything is remembered for a long time. On that trip, we also stood at the Trubchevskaya icon almost to the end, and in Saloleika we collected water from three springs - it especially helped my sister with her joints. In Tula, which church do you usually go to for such pilgrimages?

Thank you, Ksenia, nun Yennafa really tells it in such a way that everything stays in your head. We also stood at Trubchevskaya for a long time, and in Saloleika we especially liked the water from the upper spring - it was cold, it hurt your teeth. And in Tula we usually gather at the Alexander Nevsky Church on Proletarskaya, and leave from there. Do you often travel with your sister?

Илья Павлов

Thank you, Tamara. Nun Yennafa sorted everything out in our heads, especially about the history of the icon. The water from the upper spring in Saloleika almost pulled my teeth out too, but then I had energy all day. Do you and your sister often go to Diveevo or more to nearby places?

Елена Белова

Thank you, Ilya. Nun Yennafa really spoke well about the Trubchevskaya icon; I also remembered how it was brought from the Bryansk forests in the 18th century. My sister and I go to Diveevo once every two or three years, and more often to our Penza places - this is the third time in five years that we have gone to Narovchat. Do you often go on pilgrimages or was this a one-time trip?
