Our group is in the museum on a guided tour. But this is not an ordinary museum... the museum is a church, or rather the church is a museum. Instead of the usual figures - wax figurative compositions. It looks unusual and interesting... I fight off the group, find myself in a long dark corridor. Before my eyes is the scene of the Last Supper. And these are no longer wax figures, but living people. I'm kind of present at what's happening. But no one sees me. Jesus says he will be betrayed today. The apostles take turns rejecting. When it's Judas' turn, and he asks: "Isn't it me, Teacher?", I slap him on the shoulder and say, "You, you." After that, I lose all interest in what is happening. I walk further down the corridor in search of an exit, because, for my reasons, the tour should have already ended. But I just get even more lost. In the end, I find myself in a small room. It's like a man appears out of nowhere, and I know it's Jesus. Only he is completely different, not the way he is painted on icons. With a grin, he asks me if I enjoyed the performance. But I'm stupidly silent. Because as I understand it, this can't be all. It just can't be. He takes the cup. It brings me out of my stupor. I jump up, literally snatch it out of my hands and scream: "How can you! Drink from church utensils. Drinking in church! You're Jesus Christ yourself." With a gesture, he orders me to sit down. Silently filling the goblets with wine, he sits down opposite. He looks at me for a long time. Then he says: "The Church... what letter does the church end with?"
I: With "Ь".
He: And what is "Ь"?
I: Nothing.
He: Here. And the church is nothing.
