Easter without the hill
Sunday, April 4th, 2010 at 9:50 pm by ErkinThere are four or five Iradi Christians in our corner of Moscow. A girl from Talas who is a nurse found us, she has the address of a priest from Tashkent who has a small room in a flat near the Kursk station. We were nine people at the Qurbana: six Iradis, a Lebanese man who prays in Syriac better than the priest, and two Russian women who came for the singing.
It is not the cathedral. The ceiling is low. But when the priest started the old hymn we all knew it by heart, from three different valleys, and it sounded like one.
