Myrrh on the walls of the icon,

blood-soaked statuettes of Jesus,

a candle burns out, drops the piece of oin,

in the heart anxiety, as always, premonitions are heavy, precarious.

Prayers drive away evil every second,

let the executioners stop the

atrocities against the Ukrainian people,

The mockery in Bucha was a message to the world and an instructive lesson.

Rocket volleys will wake up the bell on the steeple.

Victory is here, wait a little longer,

On earth with weapons, the people are stronger.
