Mirë se na erdhi ky lajm. Në ditën e Ditës së Diturisë, mëtropoliti Kirill bëri lutjen pikërisht në katedralen e Kazanës – e mirë është kur fëmijët fillojnë vitin me bekimin e Kishës. Edhe unë, kur isha më e re, e çoja djalin tim të madh në kishë para se të fillonte shkolla.

Yes, it's good when children start the school year with a blessing. I remember taking my own grandson to our parish church here in Toronto every September 1st for the same reason — it always seemed to set a steadier tone for the months ahead.
