The depiction of father Metropolitan Andrea and the right slab on this divinity in researching the story of the history of the faith is also an advantage to live in the church of Merio Anargiro against the restoration of the field, which due to the spread of many grandfathers and fathers now with joint voices will sometimes receive a speech at the house of Ghebe. What festival teacher terms are used in this house as own Kapanda church?

Hope the crowd at Karyzana Pedias church enjoyed the feast of Saints Anargyroi this year.

Από τη Romania χαιρετώ τον Σεβασμιώτατο Ανδρεα που ευλόγησε τους άρτους και μίλησε για τον Κοσμά και Δαμιανό. Ωραίο που ελαία και ο ΐμαρχος Βασίλης Κεγέρογλου εγου. May everyone have a happy birthday with the presbyteries of the Saints.

The bishop blessing the artos and preaching about Cosmas and Damian sounds like a solid feast. Nice to see the mayor and deputy mayor there too. Hope everyone in Karyzana Pedias had a good turnout.

James Morris

Nice to see Metropolitan Andreas blessing the artos and preaching on Cosmas and Damian. The mayor and deputy mayor turning up shows the whole community was there. Hope the turnout in Karyzana Pedias was strong this year.

It is good that Bishop Andrei not only led the service, but also blessed the artos and spoke about Saints Cosmas and Damian. It’s nice to see that the mayor Vasilis Kegkeroglu and his deputy came - it means that all the people have gathered. I hope there were a lot of people in Karuzany this year.

Κατερίνα Αναγνώστου

I am glad that Venerable Andreas preached about Cosmas and Damianos and blessed the loaves. It was nice that Mayor Kegeroglou was there with Deputy Mayor Symianakis. I hope there were a lot of people in Karuzana this year.

Алексей Андреев

Yes, Bishop Andrei always tries to preach and bless the artos himself - this is important. There were enough people in Karuzany last year, especially locals. Were you there this time?

Екатерина Соловьёва

Yes, and I noticed that Bishop Andrei always does this - he not only serves, but also says a word on the matter. The only pity is that this year the rain dispersed the people a little after Vespers, but almost all the locals still came. Have you been to Karuzany yourself or did you just follow the news?

Maya, Metropolitan Andreas' sermon was very simple and heartwarming as always. I did not understand your letter at all - what does this service have to do with the restoration of the field and what terms do you mean? Can we explain it more simply?

Irene Wilson

It was a good turnout, especially for a Tuesday evening. The bishop's talk on Saints Cosmas and Damian was straightforward and helpful. Did you manage to get to any of the local feasts this summer, George?

Галина Соколова

Yes, Vladyka Andrei always does this, that’s true. Last year I was just in Karuzany, and there really were a lot of people, especially our own locals. And this time, in 2026, do you think the same amount came?
