Ольга БойкоGod bless you for the pilgrimage. I wonder how many Tarchans went with Father Mykhailo? I saw the Church-on-the-Blood only in a photo, but the procession to the Ganina Yama is always impressive.

Ксения СоловьёваGod bless you, Father Mikhail. I wonder how many Tarchans went with him this year? I also only saw the Church on the Blood in photographs, but every time I read about the procession to Ganina Yama and think about what it would be like to walk all night with so many people.

Георгий КузнецовGod bless you, Ksenia. This year, six Tarchan residents went with Father Mikhail, including me. The religious procession is truly special - you walk in complete silence, only thousands of feet rustle on the asphalt, and in the morning your feet are already humming, but inside it is calm. Would you ever risk going?
