I see Bishop Macarie is coming all the way from Northern Europe for the feast. That’s a long trip. I might try to make it up there for the Liturgy on the 20th if the weather holds.

That’s a long way for him too. I went last year on the 20th and the mountain air was perfect for the outdoor Liturgy. If you do come, bring a light jacket; it gets chilly even in July once the sun drops behind the ridge.

I hope the weather cooperates for you, Katherine. Bishop Macarie always brings a calm, steady presence to these feasts. If you make the drive, the outdoor Liturgy on the 20th is worth it just for the view across the valley.

I remember that drive up the mountain last summer — the last stretch after the village is pretty steep. If you do go on the 20th, leave early; the parking area fills up fast before the 9:30 Liturgy. Hope the weather treats you well.
