by ridiculing ‘all that was holy’, and precisely at those moments when the ‘holy’ might have been the most useful.
Reminded me of when Shatov had his baby. Also, nihilists mocking something as sacred as childbirth is obviously telling. It is also characterstic that they should be ignrorant of name-days, which are days for celebration of a certain saint. Just an overall disdain for anything holy.
