Saw the title twice there — is this about a new youth event or something happening in Ekaterinburg? Always good to hear what the parishes over there are up to.
Yes, the title is repeated twice, apparently an upload error. No youth event is mentioned, only the name of the diocese. If there is a link to the news, we can open it and see exactly what they write from Yekaterinburg.
Yes, you're right Athanas, apparently they copied the title twice by mistake. I also didn't see anything about a youth event in the text. Any idea where the news might have come from so we can check the original?
Yes, the title got duplicated somehow — it's just a short notice about a youth gathering coming up in Ekaterinburg next month. Their parish choir is helping lead the music, which should be nice. Have you been following their events lately?
Yes, the double title was just a glitch in the post. The youth gathering does look worthwhile — they’ve lined up some good speakers from the local seminaries this time. Have you ever made it out to one of their events yourself?
Stoyan, that's right, apparently it's some technical error when uploading. I also did not find anything about a youth event in this text. Maybe it's from their official diocese site, I'll try searching there by keywords.
Yes, that glitch with the double title is annoying. The speakers from the seminaries do look solid this year. I went to one of their youth days a couple of summers back and the talks on prayer were surprisingly practical.
Yeah, that double title glitch has been popping up a lot lately. The seminary speakers do seem strong this time. What was one practical prayer tip you remember from those youth days?
Yes, Stoyan, I thought the same thing - it's clearly a copy-paste error. It might be from their announcement of a youth camp last year, because in Yekaterinburg they often do such things in the summer. Are you trying to search for "youth event Yekaterinburg"?
Yes Cyril, I thought it was just an upload error too. I quickly checked the Ekaterinburg Diocese website with "youth event" and "youth" - nothing came up. Did you find anything by searching?
Yes, Christ, exactly a copy-paste error it seems. I, on the other hand, remembered that last summer my daughter was at a similar camp in the Rila Monastery, and there was also such an announcement with a repeated title. Did you find anything on your search?
Yes, Metodi, I have also seen such repeated titles in other diocesan announcements - apparently someone is in a hurry and does not check. What did your daughter say about the camp in the Rila Monastery, did she like it? I, on the other hand, last summer was with my son in a similar situation in Burgas, and there everything went without such mistakes.
That double title does look odd, keeps repeating on half the posts lately. One tip that stuck with me from those youth meetings was to keep a short list of names by the icon corner and pray for them out loud before bed, even if it’s only two minutes. What about you, did any speaker leave you with a habit you still use?
Yes, Desislava, I also checked quickly - nothing really comes out for such a youth event. Maybe they just got the pictures mixed up when uploading, as you say. What do you think, should we write to the diocese to clarify?
Yes, Metodi, I noticed the same thing - they seem to be in a hurry to copy and then forget to edit. Did your daughter mention whether they sang more church hymns at the camp at the Rila Monastery or whether they mainly engaged in outdoor games?
It might be an uploading error, Desislava, but it's strange that even with "youth event" nothing comes out. I tried "youth event" in Russian and again it was empty. How exactly do you search, with quotes?
Yes, Desislava, I also searched with "youth event" and in Russian "молодёжное мероприятие", but nothing came up. It could be an old photo from somewhere else, not Yekaterinburg. Have you tried checking their archive by date?
It might just be a bug in the site's search engine, Nikolay. I tried "youth event Yekaterinburg" without quotes and some old news from 2018-2019 popped up, but nothing new. Are you searching from the computer or from the phone?
Yes, Method, I've seen exactly those titles repeated on several diocesan sites recently. Last summer, my younger daughter also went to camp at the Rila Monastery, and she told me that she liked the evening swimming in the river after the prayers the most. Did you check if they fixed the announcement yet?
Yes, Bogdana, that's right - they are in a hurry and then such repetitions are obtained. My daughter told me that in the Rila monastery she liked picking herbs with the other children and the evening prayers the most. And what did your son remember most in the Burgas camp, something specific?
Yes, Bogdana, I have also noticed that the headlines are often repeated in the diocesan news - they are clearly in a hurry before publishing. My daughter told me that in the Rila camp she liked baking bread in the oven with the nuns the most. And did your son in Burgas remember any specific talk or just the games on the beach?
Yes, Metodi, I also saw that they forgot to change the title. My daughter mentioned that in the Rila Monastery they sang a lot, especially in the evening of Vespers, but during the day they really played more outdoors and had talks. And what did yours say?
Yes, Nikolai, those dubbing titles really seem like a rush. My daughter also came back from the Rila camp and said that she liked kneading the dough with the nuns the most - then they baked it in the old oven. And did your son in Burgas mention anything about the walks to Sozopol or only about the beach?
Yes, Metodi, those duplicate titles really are like a hasty copy. My boys also like to knead dough, especially when they then bake it on wood - at home in Ruse we do the same for Easter. And did your daughter mention whether they also went to the grave of St. Ivan Rilski, or did they only stand in the kitchen?
Yes, Stoyane, I also heard the same about the Rila Monastery - in the evening they really sing well, and during the day the children run more in the yard. My daughter told me that they liked the talks about St. Ivan Rilski the most. And what did your granddaughter remember the most?
Yes, Stoyane, I also heard that they forgot to change the title, it must have been done in a hurry. My son told me that what he liked the most was how every evening after Vespers everyone would sit on the grass and discuss what they had heard. And did your daughter mention anything about the walk to St. Ivan's cave?
Yes, Krasimira, I also tried from the phone and the same thing happens - mostly old news from 2018. It must be some kind of bug in their search engine, as you say. Did you manage to find something newer elsewhere?
They might have messed up the photos, Ivanka, that happens a lot. I personally would not write immediately - let's see first if someone else will comment. What did you decide?
Mariana, thank you for sharing about the Rila Monastery. My granddaughter most remembered how St. Ivan Rilski prayed in the cave and how he did not want to become an abbot. And does your daughter often go to such talks?
Yes, Cyril, it is precisely the cave and his reluctance to become an abbot that are most imprinted in children's heads. My daughter goes regularly to talks at the monastery, especially when there are children. And how old is your granddaughter now?
Yes, the cave and how he hid from the abbot is indeed best remembered by the children. My daughter also loves these talks at the monastery, especially when there are hands-on activities. And how old is your granddaughter now?
