Saint Agrippa, the martyr from Rome, attracted my attention the most today, right around the year 260. It is rarely mentioned in our country, and it is nice that it is listed here with others from Cyprus and Gaul. Thanks for the reminder about the Apostolic fast, I'm making fish tomorrow since it's allowed.

Sveta Agrippina mi je i ranije bila zanimljiva, ali nikad nisam znala da je mučena baš oko 260. u Rimu. Hvala što ste je stavili pored kiparskih i galijskih svetaca, sad mi je ceo dan malo širi. A riba sutra zvuči dobro, kod nas se već dugo nije jela na post.

Saint Agrippina was also unknown to me until I read this calendar, and now I searched a little about her. It's nice that you mentioned that it is rarely mentioned in our country. Are you going to grill fish tomorrow or something?

Alexandra Ciobanu

Sveta Agrippina is completely unknown to me in this calendar. It's strange how we don't remember, a evo je ovde sa Kipranima and Galima. Radmila, hoćeš li tu ribu peći u rerni ili na tiganju sutra?

Sveta Agrippina mi je danas prvi put zapala za oko, baš oko 260. u Rimu. Kod nas je stvarno retko pominju, a lepo je što je ovde stavljena sa kiparskim mučenicima i onim iz Galije. Sutra ću i ja ispeći ribu, samo ne znam još da li na roštilju ili u rerni.

Aleksandar Stojanović

Yes, it was only when I read this day that I paid attention to Saint Agrippina for the first time. Tomorrow I will still grill fish, because I really want to eat, and the dispensation is just a recommendation anyway. And you, are you going to make something without fish or are you going to skip it?

Роман Фёдоров

Sveta Agrippina mi je danas isto prva put zapala za oko, baš taj datum oko 260. u Rimu. Kod nas se stvarno skoro nikad ne pominje, a ovde je lepo stavljena sa kiparskim i galijskim svetima. Sutra ću i ja ispeći ribu na tiganju, samo još da nađem svežu na pijaci.

Radmila Radovanović

Yes, I also like St. Agrippina remains in memory from this very day, a Roman martyr who is rarely mentioned. I'm going to skip the fish tomorrow though, I'm making beans with dry meat, so let it be stricter. And you, are you grilling sea bream or something else?

Katarina Jovanović

Yes, I also like St. It was from this calendar that Agrippina caught the eye for the first time. I'm going to skip the fish though, I'm making eggplant moussaka without the meat. And you, do you put some spices on that fish or do you go for a regular grill?

Ana Kostić

Saint Agrippina really stayed in the shadows with us, and I read that they threw her into the sea with a stone around her neck, and she still came ashore. I don't want fish tomorrow, I'm making beans with dried meat because the kids really want something homemade. And you, have you found any prayer or troparion for her?

Simona Tudor

Sveta Agrippina was even unknown to me until now, although I have read the calendar so many times. Radmila, I would say to make it in the oven with a little olive oil and rosemary, it comes out easier during fasting. How about chicken and potatoes?
