To the Ostrog Monastery.
I think it's 40 km from Podgorica.

There are a lot of people on foot, a lot.

Sorry, but this "Procession of the Cross" is very important.

S V, Yes, a village parish. A bit poster-like, but I think it's better this way.

Vladimir Polonsky, in Serbia and Montenegro, it's customary to have a communal meal after the Liturgy.
Everyone together!

And songs, for example, "Kosovo Field."

Everyone sings!!!

Do all the brothers and sisters sing songs about Kulikovo Field in our country?
Wine together, rakia, and ruchak, of course!

Do we have that?

S V, The meal after the Liturgy is part of the service. Partly formal, but still. The twelve great feasts are celebrated with a festive table.

Vladimir Polonsky, are all the parishioners?

This is the first time I've heard of it. If so, then wow!

That's awesome.

Vidovdan. We have Kulikovo Field.

The children are singing, but everyone sings as usual.

That's it.

Vladimir Polonsky, after every Liturgy.

Sunday.

Not the Great 12, but like this.

Everyone sings songs, chats.

How cool!

Vladimir Polonsky, the idea of making religion accessible.
to anyone.

at any level.
Pardon me, I repeat – at any level to anyone.

Vladimir Polonsky, The Great 12...

They don't even have the energy to communicate after all the services.

Why do only the Great 12 open up communication here???

Why is that?

It's a hypothesis—and even then, communication is unlikely to be on equal terms.
And at any level.

God's vicars on earth are probably everywhere, in cassocks.

Where does this come from? Only on holidays
Only pompously
Only with posters
Always only a great ideal - a reason to praise another friend

Doesn't it remind you of anything?

Is constant, uninterrupted communication with people available?
Is it directly accessible at any level.

S V, I suggest we end the discussion of this topic. I'll add: basic instincts are the same, for millennia, from Moses to the present day. Survival at any cost, also in Orthodoxy... alas.

Vladimir Polonsky,
simply:
people are kind and cheerful, and provided with everything, and doubly so.

Forgive me, a sinner.
