Let's conclude today's selection with one of the most impressive churches dedicated to the feast - the Metropolitan Cathedral of Iaşi.

How can the Paschal night be described? How can we express in words its greatness, glory, and beauty? Only by writing out the Paschal service from beginning to end could it be done.

Many wanted to become gods,
but only one God became man.
I once saw a picture like this with the same message and all the same faces, only Stalin's face erased and replaced by Biden, who was not even close to Stalin in evil deeds and pride, but the Stalinists, today's servants of Putin, love their bloody idol so much that they hide his vanity so poorly...
