-I wanted to see with my own eyes. I don’t know who makes these rules, don’t go to Santo. Because nobody hurts nobody, they all went to the polls”.
Even if some insisted on going elsewhere, they were not allowed to go through the same perimeter.
“-I’m going to the grave, to the father.
-It’s not allowed, ma’am.
-Ok I have it. A beautiful day“.
“-I saw it on TV, I can’t believe it.
-Did you say you could persuade them?
-Yes. I will come with the newsletter”.
“How much zeal. Too much zeal! Thank you, have a good day!”.
“I stay at the door, because the Saint of Iași”.
“My soul hurts when I see that the world does not come to Santo, as every year, it was full of people here. I’m sorry and I want to cry when I see the canopy there”.
The leader of the main platoon Alexandru Mormenchi, spokesman of the Mobile Group of Gendarmes Bacău: “There is a degree of difficulty, but some of those who came here understood what it was about, so we want to publicly thank them.”.
The Metropolitan asks the faithful to turn pain into prayer
On Wednesday night, just hours before midnight, the Metropolitan Church of Moldova and Bucovina announced that it had canceled the entire religious program.
Metropolitan Theophanes of Moldova and Bukovina sent a message on Thursday urging believers to turn pain into prayer and priests to perform the holy liturgy every day.
Priest Constantin Sturzu, spokesman for the Metropolitan Church of Moldavia and Bucovina: “What was announced as the feast of the Saint and was so every year was reduced to a practically ordinary day. It will be held on October 14, but it is not the size that it was in other years, in the sense that there were several days when they took the scraper out here, outside.“.
The coffin with the relics of Saint Pious Parascheva will be taken out, on pilgrimage, through the central streets on Sunday afternoon, then if the inhabitants of Iai congregate in large numbers it will be deposited in the pavilion arranged in front of the Cathedral.
