In December 2018, both Христофор and Барфоломей claimed they kicked the other one out of Batushka and decided to continue the band separately. For now, there are two versions of the band: Христофор’s Батюшка and Барфоломей’s Batushka. The image on the cover is a blurred image of “Our Lady of Perpetual Succour“ (Catholic Church name), also known as “Theotokos of the Passion“ (Orthodox Church name). English translation: Litany I: Cleansing Litany II: Blessing Litany III: Wisdom Litany IV: Grace Litany V: Holy Entrance Litany VI: Hope Litany VII: Truth Litany VIII: Salvation Official music video: — “Ектения IV: Милость“ The album title Литоургиіа on the cover apparently intends to be the Church Slavonic word Литꙋргіѧ. When transcribed into modern Cyrillic, it should be “Литургия“ (Liturgiya). Track 6 title “Уповане“ from the booklet is a typo; the correct spelling is “Упование“. Comes in cardboard ecopak with cover slipcase (o-card). Recording information: Recorded at Sphieratz Studio.
