I forgot to write how great these vignettes were !
I watched a long time ago, but REALLY enjoyed them.

Very realistic, too, about Church life in RF today.

The plastic bottle containing the lampada oil is exactly what they use.

Even the people are - mostly [not the Starets as much] realistic figures.

I want to watch them again as it's been months now and they were truly educational as well as
entertaining in a healthy manner.

A friend of mine sent these to me a while back. I think I even posted them here. They are lovely. They're from the spiritual teachings of the Russian holy fathers. I wish they would make more. It was a surprise to see how the elder blessed the novice. Was that a reference to a specific elder or an interpretation of the Producer? Thump! God bless. Still. It was endearing.

Yes, thank you, Joanna.

You did share a few of these morality plays, and I found some more on YouTube, which I posted here.

There could be more plays out there in cyberspace.
