Хубаво звучи, особено майсторските класове по пряници и историческите танци. Интересно ми е как минаха индивидуалните беседи с минувачите – много ли хора се спряха да поговорят? Иоанн Бакушкин винаги говори просто и по същество, сигурно и сега е било така.

The gingerbread masters and those historical dance workshops sound like a hit with the kids. I wonder how many folks actually stopped for the one-on-one missionary chats – that’s the part that can plant a real seed. Father Ioann always keeps it straightforward, so I bet his words landed well before the singing and tea started.
