Петя ХристоваIt's good that they were right in Arzamas in the summer, in such weather the walk through the old streets must have been pleasant. I wonder if they were able to see the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery as well, or if they limited themselves only to the Resurrection Council and the relics. Thanks for the info, always good to hear about such pilgrimages from Penza.

Тамара СмирноваIt’s good that we went in July; in the heat it’s more pleasant to walk along the streets of Arzamas than in winter. It’s a pity that they didn’t write in the note whether they were in the Transfiguration Monastery; it’s always interesting to read about it. Thanks for the story, Petya, I also love such trips.

Георги ПетровIt's good that you mention the Transfiguration Monastery, Petya. The group also went there the next day, after the service in the Resurrection Council - they said that the courtyard was quiet and cool, just right for a summer walk. Have you been to Arzamas this time of year?

Алексей ПетровYes, it’s really more comfortable in July, especially when there’s a light breeze from the river in the afternoon. And in Spaso-Preobrazhensky they were, I later checked with Petya - they just wrote briefly about him in the note at the very end. Which of our Penza monasteries do you go to most often?
