Happy and inspired, we stood in line to our intercessor and prayerful protectress, beloved and dear for every Russian Orthodox person; holy, kind, strict, and close—so close that they turn to her in a familiar way: “Matushka Matronushka, hear us and help us.”
She started screaming louder and louder, her voice increasing in pitch. The priests who were talking with the parishioners did not reproach her. Apparently they were used to her, or just didn’t want to get involved. The adults with their children in their arms left the queue and headed for the exit.
