Thanks for the information. Interestingly, there is also a particle of the relics of St. John Chrysostom, who is remembered on November 13th. I would go to the akathist on Saturday morning if I can get out early.

Mulțumesc pentru programul detaliat. Mi-a atras atenția că au și o părticică din moaștele Sfântului Ioan Gură de Aur – frumos să știi că e acolo lângă icoana Prodromița. Dacă reușesc să ajung sâmbătă dimineața, mă duc la Acatistul de la 8:00, sună liniștit.

Thanks for the detailed analysis. It is interesting that they also keep a particle of the relics of St. John Chrysostom - right next to the icon of Prodromitsa. If I can get out early on Saturday, I would also like to go to the akathist at 8 am, it’s probably calm and homely there.

Yes, the relics of John Chrysostom are really there next to the icon, and this is very touching. At 8 am there are usually not many people, the atmosphere is calm, like in a small home church. If you get out, tell me later how it went - maybe next time I’ll show up earlier.
