Soul and body: in the Lubov temple cooked a giant vat of ears and treated everyone

Soul and body: in the Lyubov temple cooked a giant vat of ears and treated everyone This weekend, the territory of the Church of St. Nicholas in Pskov Lyubyatovo was filled not only with bell ringing, but also with the appetizing aroma of smoking fish soup. The parishioners and just passers-by became participants of a real fraternal meal: a huge cauldron was installed right in the open air, in which a brewed, hot ear was cooked. This is not just a meal, but an ancient Christian tradition of feeding one’s neighbor. Volunteers and ministers of the temple with smiles poured fragrant broth with pieces of fish to everyone who approached the improvised field kitchen. For many, it was an opportunity not only to warm up, but also to feel the most sincere, warm communication, which is so lacking in the bustle of the city. See in our photo report how this special meal was prepared and what emotions it gave to the Pskovites. Preparing for a miracle: volunteers lay fresh fish and spices in a huge cauldron. The main ingredient is kindness: the clergyman personally pours the hot ear on plates. Warm your soul and body: Pskov citizens are happy to treat themselves to hot soup on the territory of the temple. Children are always the best: a small parishioner enthusiastically tries an ear prepared according to a special recipe. The aroma throughout the district: steam from a giant vat rises directly to the domes of the Church of St. Nicholas.
