At the end of the festive service, the rector of the temple, Fr. Ivan, thanked the guest from Kherson. In particular, special thanks the priest expressed to the Lord for turning away all the anxiety, and people could thank God and the Holy Mother of God for the protection of the Mother of God, which they have over the village of Zmiyivka.
