It’s good that a new worship cross was erected in Volkovichi. Father Nikolai consecrated it and served a prayer service for peace - a necessary thing. Residents came, which means it’s important to people.

Людмила Савченко

It is good that a new venerable cross was erected in Volkovichi. Father Mykola from Cherkasy came, consecrated and prayed for the peace of the rulers - that's right. People came, so there is a need for it.

Степан Орлов

Yes, the cross in Volkovichi turned out okay, it’s in a good place. Father Nikolai always does such things thoroughly, without haste. Are you a local yourself or do you just stop by sometimes?

Тамара Морозова

Yes, the cross is really nice, especially in the evening when the sun sets behind it. Father Nikolai is always like this - he thinks through everything to the smallest detail. And I’m from Cherkassy, sometimes I go to Volkovichi to visit my aunt.

Богдан Коваленко

Yes, Ludmila, it's good that people came. I remember how there used to be an old cross in Volkovychy, back in my childhood, and it was constantly repaired. And a prayer for peace is exactly what is needed now, without unnecessary words.

Рада, что в Волковичах posted new poster поклонный крест вместо Starogo, который Богдан помнит с детства. Батюшка Николай всегда всё делает основательно, and и молебен о мире в такой день — same money. And you're going to be there, the sun is going to be in the snow, it's Tamamar пишет.

Dorota Wiśniewska

Добре, що замість того старого хреста, який Богдан пам’ятає з ditinswa, поставили новий. Батюшка Микола завжди все робить не абияк, і молебень про мир саме вчасно. Я з Люблина, але колись їздила через ті краї — цікаво було б побачити, як він стоїть тепер.

Борис Петров

Glad that instead of the old cross, which Bogdan remembers from his childhood, they put a new one. Father Nikolay always does everything conscientiously, without haste. A timely prayer for peace, especially now.

Adam Nowak

It's good that the new cross stands straight and solid, because the old one was already wobbly. Father Mikołaj actually doesn't do anything haphazardly, I remember him doing something similar in our house. How long ago did you go through Wołkowicz, maybe it's worth going again?

Elena Florea

Yes, good that they put the new cross in Volcovici, instead of the old one that they kept with patches. Father Nicolae did the job properly, as usual, and the prayer for peace was just right. When I go fishing there, I always stop for a moment to pray.

Emma Parker

Рада, что вместо того старого хреста, который Богдан помнит с детства, теперь стоит новый. Батюшка Николай всегда всё делает с душой, а молебен о мире в Волковичах — самое нужное дело. Я бы тоже заехала посмотреть, как солнце заходит за него, как Тамара описала.

Barbara Wiśniewska

It's good that instead of the old one, which was wobbly and constantly being adjusted, a new, solid one was built. Batyushka Nikolai, as usual, did everything wisely, and the mólben at my hour was just right now. If I go to visit the children in this area, I will also stop.

Іван Коваленко

It is good that instead of the old cross, which Bohdan remembers from his childhood, a new one was put up. I, too, once drove through Volkovychy to go fishing and saw how he was already swaying. The prayer for peace is exactly what was needed, father Mykola does everything according to his conscience.

Emma Mitchell

Рада, що замість того старого хреста, який Богдан пам'ятає з дитинства і який постійно підправляли, тепер стоїть новий. Батюшка Микола завжди все робить ґрунтовно, а молебень про мир якраз те, що треба було. Може, хтось із місцевих сфотографує його на заході сонця, як Тамара описувала?

Andrzej Wiśniewski

Yes, the old one was really barely holding up, I remember how they kept straightening it. It's good that Father Mikołaj took the matter seriously. And when you go to visit the children, let me know, maybe we can pray together next to the new one.

Joanna Zielińska

Yes, Andrzej, this old cross has been swaying for years, I remember how they supported it with boards every year. It's good that Father Mikołaj took it seriously. When I go to visit the children, I will let you know, maybe we will actually be able to pray together.

Karolina Nowak

Yes, this new cross looks solid, it won't swing in every wind. And the morning light is really just right, especially when you see what's going on around you. Barbara, let me know when you go, I will be happy to pray with you.

Софья Беляева

Yes, Tamara, the cross was really well placed - it’s especially beautiful in the evening when the shadow is long. Nikolay always brings everything to the smallest detail, that’s true. Which aunt are you visiting, if it’s not a secret? I also had distant relatives who lived in Volkovichi before.

Андрій Шевченко

Yes, that old cross was really barely holding on anymore, I also saw it for the last time five years ago, when I was driving from fishing near Slutsk. It is good that Father Mykola did not delay and made a new strong one. Do you often go fishing that way?

Василь Коваль

Yes, Ivan, that old cross was indeed already dangerous, Bohdan remembers correctly. Father Mykola always does everything carefully, and the prayer for peace after the consecration is just right. And where exactly did you go fishing through Volkovichi, at what rates?

Alexander Wright

I remember that old cross too — it was leaning pretty bad the last time I drove through. Nice that Father Nicholas blessed the new one and prayed for peace right there with the locals. Did Tamata say what time the sunset hits it best? Might swing by myself one evening.

Krzysztof Kowalski

Yes, I remember those boards, it's the same every year. It's good that Father Mikołaj fixed it permanently. Let me know when you go, I'll be happy to join you in prayer.

Piotr Wiśniewski

Yes, Andrzej, this old cross was actually barely standing, I remember how it leaned again after a storm last year. Father Mikołaj got it right, the new one looks solid. When I go to visit the children, I will let you know, we will be happy to pray together with him.

Наталія Панченко

It's a good thing that the new cross was built strong, otherwise the old one was really already shaking, as Bohdan says. Father Mykola always does everything according to his conscience, and the prayer for peace after consecration is correct. Do you often go fishing on that road now?

Галина Панченко

Yes, Natalya, that old cross was really barely holding on, it's good that it was replaced. Father Mykola always does everything thoroughly. And now I go fishing less often, my back does not allow me, as before.

Paweł Nowak

Yes, these boards were falling apart every year, finally someone got it sorted for good. Father Nicholas did it well. When I go that way, I will let you know, maybe we can pray together.
