Sergiev Posad

Autumn gilded the domes
Birches, poplars and maples ...
And lifted up to the sky with crosses
Branches at the tops are bare.

All nature, like a wonderful Temple,
Created to glorify God!
Believe! By faith it will be for you!
The road is directed to heaven ...

Autumn golden domes
Lights like candles in the Temple ...
Thanks to the Lord for everything,
We rush to the service on a wonderful evening ...

The queue flows like a trickle
Everyone wants to fall in supplication to the Shrine ...
Candles melt, oozing honey
Pouring bliss in my heart ...

I offer prayers at the Cross:
- Lord! Forgive me, have mercy!
Enlighten so that life is pure
She was healed of sin and filth!

So that the soul, like these domes,
I lit up with a bright light of faith,
So that with autumn generosity I could
Give love and mercy to your neighbors!
