The Convent of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God in Donetsk got hit during the battle for the Donetsk airport. Hegumene of the Convent and her aide found themselves caught up in the hostilities. As the Convent was practically on the front line, the women were eyewitnesses to the attack on Donetsk Airport. They endured fires and shellings, and yet, they say it was the best time for them. Why?
