Pilgrims in Gorokhovo: the procession has entered the final stage.
The pilgrims are following the schedule strictly. At 8:00, they arrived in Gorokhovo, where the liturgy began. Exactly at 11:00, the column will move on — towards the main challenge of the entire route. The path from Monastyrskoye to Velikoretskoe is considered the most difficult: people walk through forests, bypassing muddy areas, overcoming deep puddles and ditches.
How the previous days went
Let us remind you that the Velikoretsky cross procession started on the morning of June 3 from the walls of the Trifonov Monastery in Kirov. According to our source's estimates, 31,000 pilgrims left the city — 10,000 more than last year. The first stop at Makary was passed faster than planned, our correspondent reported. At that time, the column also noticed Governor Alexander Sokolov, former regional head Nikita Belykh, entrepreneur Bagir Sharifov, as well as deputies and officials.
Then the pilgrims passed Bobino, Zagarye, and Monastyrskoye. During all this time, special flights are available for those wishing to return to Kirov.
