Sunday morning. Went to Orthodox services in both the (new) city church; and the historical reconstructed original fort from 1564. Bought an icon card of Saint Antony. Both it and me were blessed by the priests. I explained that we were going to Bely Island where there is recently built a tiny northernmost Orthodox chapel. I will take the St. Antony card and leave it there. Much singing, chanting, bowing and crossing. Very ancient and resonant atmosphere.
