But what would be appropriate for a Russian visitor, and I have quite a few.
Church Slavonic or Russian at the giving of the peace?
Father Peter
Hope this Helps..Russians usе Church slavonic in Holy Liturgy so the would understand Mir Vam or as we serbs say Mir Vama.they would understand ours as.well ....
It's pretty much pronounced the same way or it sounds the same Church Slavonic,Russian,Serban Macidonijan,Bulgarijan.....Mir Vama means for 2 or more serbian way , Mir tebi means for one that your wishing peace for... Mir Tebi I Tvojima mean Peace to you and yours...
In a Liturgical setting or not even one ,You can say Mir Vam even we say it like this as well ,They know it and they will appreciate it...Have No Fear....
