ROCOR parishes in the city  named after St. Nicholas Nerehta Tsar Martyr Written by Fr. Valery Leonichev incl.  May 11, 2015. Published in the ROCA The day after the Liturgy, because of an innocent child's question, given by the young sharer, there  started up a conversation: to comprehend an old philosophical debate about: what is a man. Indeed, out of the mouths of babes ... What is a man without the church? The service this day in memory of the miracle of Jesus healing the paralytic is celebrated  by the Church in the fourth week after Pascha, and it reminds us of who we are, before God, Who first visited every one of us ... We were all gathered in the cozy house on the outskirts of the Kostroma Nerekhta, and  again we stand as bowls, in anticipation of being filled with Holy Communion, just like all of you, our brothers and sisters in Christ. And we are with you - we are the Church! But do not let us, O Lord, rebel once again,  in our  proud blindness, and  exchange  the priceless gift of  Thy mercy, for that of  the rulers of this world.
