I am glad that the service was held with special prayers for peace. Abbot Seraphim's sermon on the veneration of icons was simple and useful. It is good that they also remembered the story of the cross pilgrimage from the Serbian monastery in 2016.

Thank God that the Liturgy was served in honor of the Three Hands. It is good that Father Seraphim reminded about icon veneration and conveyed the blessing of Bishop Vicenti. And that procession from Rukumija in 2016 is still remembered, I see that the icon is now in Tambovka.

Yes, I also remember that walk of the cross from Rukumija, then we walked to Sargatski and many were impressed. It is good that the icon is now in Tambovka, at least it is closer to our sisters. Did you attend the Liturgy this year?
