There were no spiritual books at that time. But some nuns gave us akathist hymns: we had nuns at the Convent of the Nativity of the Mother of God, and my dear mother was in contact with them.
I was surprised and shocked that such a beautiful church had been demolished! I was just devastated! It was always packed with worshippers. It was impossible to come there without tears.
