I have always wanted to visit Blessed Matryona’s grave. Got ready on Saturday and went to Saint Intercession Convent. While I was walking, I already had this light feeling in my soul. I cant say that there was a lot of people. There were tooooo many people! A lot of people with flowers. Line-ups to her icons. To her gravesite – huge lines. As usual, someone tried to skip the line. Slight soul protest was caused by obvious «coinization» – everywhere and in large quantities urns to donate. As if you have to pay to get to icons. Well, I guess, we are all sinners… But, my soul was still calm and bright… Natural historical paradox – Matryona had nothing, and every day thousands and thousands people from different countries come to her with their thoughts. Governors of all times always had everything and more. And you can never come to them. And nobody is. And they don’t get it. And nobody addresses to them in their thoughts. It is a reason to think about the meaning of your life… Konstantin Y. Smolentsev http://smolentsev.com
