Wise and worthy man. Eternal Memory

A pity of course. But his appeal to the President - Your Excellency - during Kresnov course, I greatly hurt the ears.
And I have a friend cop, who often attended the meal after the service on holidays. Horror. Drink it all at a huge table, and the windows of the choir monks join in toast.

God rest his soul, though he rest in peace.

I do not so long ago learned that the first part of the sustained expression - hristinskaya second (about the land down) left a legacy of pre-Christian, is to say, pagan times, but because priests are not too fond of. But it is not on your nelly not in reproach, but simply for information that, in an awkward situation when something does not go.

This form of treatment prescribed by a church ceremony. Nothing wrong with that. I, for example, "mother" is called, if you do not know how to apply, although I live in peace and her husband, a priest I have not.
