It is good that the ark with the relics of Peter and Fevronia was brought to Makhachkala. My daughter was once in Murom and told how people there pray for family life. And the staff of Moses is a rarity in general, it is interesting how it got to the Caucasus. Thanks to father Pavel for his service.

I am glad that the casket with the relics of Sts. Peter and Fevronia was brought to Makhachkala. In Rostov, we also often pray to them for family well-being, especially before weddings. As for Moses' staff — this is indeed rare. It is interesting how it was delivered from Greece to Dagestan. Thank Father Paul and everyone who served.

It's good that they brought the relics of Peter and Fevronia to Mahaškala, where Father Pavel Kalikin serves. I read that they also put the fragment of the staff of Moses brought from Andros, this is really a rarity. My daughter also prayed to them for the family, as Galina says.

It’s good that the ark with the relics of Peter and Fevronia was brought to Makhachkala; in Nizhny, many people also pray for family harmony. The staff of Moses from Andros is truly a rarity; I wonder how it was delivered across Europe to Dagestan. Thank you to Father Pavel and Father Rustik for your service.

It is good that the ark with the relics of Peter and Fevronia was brought to Makhachkala and placed in the middle of the church together with a piece of the staff of Moses from Andros. In our Poltava, people also often pray to them about family life, especially before the wedding. I thank Father Pavlo Kalikin for his service and Father Rustyk for his sermon.
