Рад бачити, що Мироносицький хід в Марій Ел триває вже не перший рік. А в якому саме селі починається і куди йде цього разу? У нас у Львівській області теж подібні ходи роблять, але менші.

I didn't know the Myrrhbearers procession has been going for years in Mari El. Does it start from the same village each time, or does that change? We don't have anything quite like that around Boston, so it's interesting to hear how it's done there.

Марина Комарова

У нас в Нижегородской области тоже Мироносицкий ход каждый год бывает, но пешком идут недалеко, в основном от храма в соседнее село. В Марий Эл, наверное, красиво — леса кругом. А с какого села в этот раз стартовали, не написали?

Tomáš Veselý

U nás v Ostravě takové dlouhé křížové cesty nemáme, spíš jen kolem kostela. Zajímavé, že to v Marij El běží už několik let. Z které vesnice letos vyrazili, to by mě taky zajímalo.

Thomas Baker

Yeah, it kicks off from the village of Sernur every year, same spot. The route takes them through a few local parishes over a couple of days. Interesting that nothing similar pops up near Boston – what’s the closest thing you’ve got in the way of processions there?

Daniel Lewis

Yeah, it starts right from Sernur every spring, same little square by the church. We don’t have anything that long around Boston, but on the feast of the Cross we do a short procession from Holy Resurrection in Allston out to the Charles River for the blessing of the waters. Have you been on the full Mari El walk yourself?

Irene Thomas

Yes, I've done the full Sernur route twice now — it's about 12 km through the fields and ends with a moleben at the spring. Your Allston one to the Charles sounds peaceful; do you go right down to the water's edge with the icons?

Petra Svobodová

U nás v Libereci taky většinou jen kolem chrámu, delší trasy moc neznám. Letos v Marij El prý vyrazili z vesnice Sernur, to jsem si našla v reportáži. Jak dlouho by u vás v Ostravě lidé na takovou vzdálenost vydrželi, co myslíš?
