As we did in Minsk, when pilgrims from Africa came to the Transfiguration Cathedral, it was immediately clear that their hearts were open. And in Ryazan they probably looked at the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary?

Светлана Андреева

Yes, Tatyana, in Ryazan they were definitely at the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, they even posted photographs of it. Our African guests' eyes really light up when they enter the church. Did they come to you for a long time in Minsk?

Олег Васильев

Yes, Tatyana, in Ryazan they definitely went into the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, I myself saw how they stood there for a long time near the icon. They really have open hearts, you can immediately feel it. Did they just visit the cathedral in Minsk or go somewhere else?

Степан Тарасов

Yes, Oleg, in Ryazan they stood at this icon for a long time, I also noticed. In Minsk, in addition to the cathedral, we also stopped at the theological academy to meet with students. Do you often visit the cathedral on weekdays?

Ирина Голубева

Yes, Svetlana, in Ryazan they really stood at the cathedral for a long time, taking pictures. And in Minsk, judging by their stories, they stayed with local students for a whole week, even went to services together. Have you communicated with them personally?

Светлана Андреева

Yes, Tatyana, they went to the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary and stood at the Feodorovskaya icon for a long time. Were pilgrims in Minsk only in your Spaso-Preobrazhensky or did they go to other churches?

Алексей Морозов

Yes, Irina, Svetlana definitely communicated with them - she even talked about their favorite Ryazan kvass. But in Minsk the week turned out to be eventful, especially the service in the church-tent on the street was memorable. Have you met African students in Ryazan yourself?
