It is good that Patriarch Daniel was with the young people at the ITO. If my children's children were there, I would certainly have brought them the moment the Patriarch stood among them. The first edition of IMO in Harja is a great idea, we should get used to it from the beginning.

Ketevan, I completely agree, it is very important for Patriarch Daniel to stand with the youth. If my children were small now, I would have taken them to IMO in Harja in the first year. It is good that they fall in love with the church at such an early age.

Glad that there was also a confession at the National Cathedral, right in the middle of the ITO. In our parish, young people have a harder time coming to confession, so that picture with the boy at the priest gave me hope. And in Hârja, with the little Orthodox, I think it's a good idea - our two-three-year-olds already sing "Our Father" at home, maybe we'll take them to such a meeting next year.

It's good that they also showed that photo with the boy confessing in the Cathedral. Young people rarely come to us in Plovdiv, and when you see something like this, it gives you hope. For Herja and the little ones - a good idea, my daughters were three or four years old, and that's when we took them to the service for the first time.

You said it well, Kirill, and I'm happy about this photo with the confession - here in Sofia, too, young people don't go to church much, and when you see such a child, it really makes you feel better. For Herja and the little ones - you're right, three or four years old is the best time, I took my daughter right then for the first time, and since then it's easier to stay on duty. And did you also take them to weaving or just to mass?
