The Lent, and especially Week of Passion, is not accidentally called "time
of temptations".
We've written about the trials, that the Bethlehem's Nativity Church is
ungergoing.
Intercession of the Mother of God
Yes, it's a pity, that canonicals have burned out, but it can be remedied, only time is necessary. But the loss of library make us much more sorry, because it's irreplaceable in many ways. Lots of books are already not on sale, even some of publishers exist no more. Painful is the loss of prayer-books, books for divine services and music library, that our choristers have used. At present the development of preliminary project of new church complex is finished. Registration of documents concerning new building proceeds with serious difficulties, we face the displays of not yet obsolete soviet bureaucracy. We hope that Lord will temper justice with mercy. Maybe this disaster will help to draw attention of officials to our case, and the receiving of necessary licenses would speed up. We believe that wise folk's proverb would become right - "every cloud has a silver lining", anything bad comes without good. We ask for your succour. Thanks to God's mercy, only the lodge has burned, although along with all
including services.
There were four buildings beside, that have been kept by Lord. In the
immediate proximity to the lodge stands the Church, and it's wooden.
In those few minutes (that seemed hours for us) before the arrival of
fire-brigade the flame flared up out of the lodge, and the wind carried it
right to the church, where the common divine service of Passion Week has
been held.
