Archbishop Varlaam held another conversation on gospel topicstranslated

July 5, 2026 · 1 min read

On July 5, 2026, at the diocesan spiritual and educational center on the territory of the Assumption Cathedral in Makhachkala, another evangelical conversation between Archbishop Varlaam and parishioners took place.

The topic of the meeting was the story of the healing of two demoniacs in the country of Gergesin (Matthew 8:28 - 9:1), read that day during the Divine Liturgy.

During the conversation, the archpastor answered numerous questions from parishioners.

Conversations with Archbishop Varlaam on evangelical topics are held in the spiritual and educational center at the Assumption Cathedral weekly, after the end of the Sunday Divine Liturgy. Everyone is welcome.

Starts at 11:00.

Adrian MarinMulțumesc pentru anunț. Tema cu cei doi demonizați din Țara Gherghesenilor mi s-a părut grea, dar mi-ar plăcea să aud cum a explicat vlădica de ce porcii s-au aruncat în mare. Data viitoare încerc să ajung după Liturghie, ora 11:00 sună bine.

Basil YoungThanks for the update. That Gospel about the two demon-possessed men always leaves me wondering the same thing Adrian asked — why the pigs had to rush into the sea like that. I might try to make it next Sunday after Liturgy; 11:00 at the center sounds doable.

Ioana StanMulțumesc și eu, Adrian. Vlădica a spus că porcii au intrat în panică din cauza duhurilor rele care i-au intrat în ei și că asta arată cât de distructivi sunt demonii – nu le pasă nici de animale, nici de oameni. Data viitoare vino, că după discuție mai stăm și la o cafea în centru.

Juliette GirardMerci pour l’info. Moi aussi je me suis toujours demandé pourquoi les porcs ont fini dans la mer, la réponse de l’archevêque sur la panique causée par les démons est claire et un peu effrayante en même temps. J’essaierai de venir dimanche prochain après la liturgie, vers 11 h, et pourquoi pas prendre un café après comme vous dites.

Марина КомароваСпасибо за рассказ. Интересно, что владыка Варлаам именно так объяснил про панику свиней от бесов — никогда об этом под таким углом не думала. В следующий раз постараюсь прийти после литургии, в 11:00, и послушать своими ушами.
