It’s good that Bishop Kirill came to Tolga on this particular holiday. I remember when a pilgrim group from Rostov and I were there three years ago, the Vvedensky Cathedral was very light and calm. I wonder how many people gathered for the Liturgy.

Yes, Tolga is always special on this day. I was also in the Vvedensky Cathedral, when our pilgrimage group from Kharkiv went there, and it is really so quiet there that even after the service I don't want to leave quickly. I wonder if the monastery choir sang there, like back then.

Yes, Tolga really seems to freeze on the day of the Smolensk icon. I also remember how, after the Liturgy, the same monastery choir was standing there - the girls sang so clearly that it stuck in my ears for a long time. And in what year did you travel with the Kharkiv group?
