"Am stat 6 ore la coadă, dar nici nu am simţit". Reacţia unei credincioase la pelerinajul Sfintei Parascheva

The pilgrimage of Saint Parascheva in Iași has begun, attracting thousands of worshippers. Many have waited for hours to pay their respects, with some experiencing health issues. A 69-year-old man is in critical condition after collapsing while waiting. Despite the long lines, many find the experience spiritually uplifting. Authorities expect over 300,000 pilgrims to attend, and measures are in place for their safety, including medical support and a drone for monitoring crowds. The event will conclude on October 15, with additional opportunities to venerate newly canonized Saint Paisius.
