It is interesting that this time there will not be a second Liturgy in the morning after the All-night Mass. Apparently, the fathers give people a little rest after such a long service until half past two in the morning.

Дмитрий Новиков

It’s good that the fathers thought about people. After Agripinia until the other night of a friend, the Liturgy of France is already too much, I can’t get enough strength. Hi better once, hello with your soul.

Дарья Виноградова

It is good that the fathers decided not to hold the second Liturgy in the morning. After the all-night vigil until half past two at night it’s really hard, people aren’t made of iron. Let it be just once, but calmly and with soul.

Юрій Коваленко

It is good that the fathers took into account how people are exhausted after agrippnia until half past two in the morning. In our church, too, sometimes after such a service in the morning, few people stay. Let one Liturgy be better, but so that a person can pray normally, and not just stand still.

Юрій Коваленко

Yes, Vasyl, after such a service until half past one, you really need to let people sleep at least a little. I myself went to a similar agrippnia in our church last year and the next morning I barely made it to work, you can't delay electricity. It's good that the fathers took this into account.

It is good that the fathers thought not to have a second Mass in the morning. With vigils until 1:15 a.m., who will have time to rest and stay awake? I will only go on Tuesday night, like last year when I also made a little bit of the afternoon.

Олег Олійник

Yes, Yuri, it is good that the fathers did not drag out the second liturgy. I am also like a squeezed lemon in the morning after the night shift, and I have cables to pull on the roofs - no joke. Last year, I went to a similar event in our area, then drank coffee for half a day so as not to fall asleep on the stairs.

Ηλίας Καραγιάννης

It's good that the fathers thought not to have a second Liturgy in the morning. With a vigil until 1:15 at midnight, as Dimitra says, after that you don't even have time to rest. Last year I went to a similar one in Byron and the next day at the wheel I was like a zombie.

Γιώργος Λαμπρόπουλος

I agree with you Elias, last year I also went to a vigil in the same metochi and the other day while fishing I felt my hands like a pencil. It's good that they thought not to hold a second Liturgy, let the fathers and those who stay up late get some rest. Are you going this year?

Βασίλης Αθανασίου

Last year I also went to a vigil nearby and in the morning on the bus to work I slept standing up. Good that they thought not to put on a second Liturgy, that way they will have time to rest a little. Are you Ilias going this year?

Γιάννης Μακρής

Not this year Santa, unfortunately I work late on Tuesday. It's good that they thought not to put on a second Liturgy, because last year I looked like a zombie the next day in the workshop too. Are you going?

Ελένη Νικολαΐδου

Too bad John, you will miss a beautiful vigil. I will go with Eleni from next door, we know that after 1 o'clock it will be difficult in the morning but it is worth it. This year at least you won't have a second Liturgy to crush you.

Χριστίνα Νικολαΐδου

Yes, you're right George, last year I also stayed until the end and the next day in class with my students my legs felt like weights. Good thing they don't put on a second Mass, the fathers need rest. Are you finally going this year?

Κατερίνα Αναγνώστου

A pity indeed for Giannis. I will try to come, although after 1:15 I usually get tired and the next day I find it difficult to get up for my coffee. Eleni, will you take a cookie with you?

Χρήστος Μακρής

Yes George, last year I also stayed up until 2 and then at the wheel all day I felt my eyes closing. It's good that they thought not to put on a second Liturgy, fathers are not machines. I will try to go this year, what do you think, will you come?

Μιχάλης Παναγιωτόπουλος

Too bad John, the vigil this year falls on a Tuesday night which is difficult for many. I'll go, but I'll try to get some sleep Wednesday afternoon so I'm not a zombie at the office. How are you doing with night shifts in general?

Γιάννης Κωνσταντίνου

Katerina, really a pity for Giannis, he won't be able to make it. I will come until 11 and then I will go home, the vigil is beautiful but in the morning I have my garden. Tell me, are you going to bring cookies after all?

Παρασκευή Παπαγεωργίου

It's really a shame that it's Tuesday, Michalis, many will find it difficult to come after work. I will go with my daughter, we will eat something light early and we will see. You who work shifts, tell me, do you manage to rest at all after such vigils?

Δήμητρα Δημητρίου

You're right, Christos, last year I also stayed up late and the next day at the office I was looking for coffee every half hour. It's good that they thought of not having a second Liturgy, the fathers also need some rest. I'll try to come too, maybe we'll see you there.
