I am glad for the Greek brothers that they gathered for the feast of St. Kyriakios. It is beautiful when the bishop himself serves in such a modest exoklision, and not just in the cathedral. And in Kazan in July, we usually have the same small parish thrones on Elijah’s Day.

I am glad for the Greek brothers that Bishop Chrysostomos himself came to such a modest exoclisis in the mountains, and not just to the cathedral. In our small village chapels in Tula, they also try to have the bishop visit at least once a year. But it seems that we do not have a separate throne for Saint Kyriacia, only in the general calendar.

I am glad for the Greek brothers that Bishop Chrysostomos himself came to serve in the modest mountain exoclesia, and not only in the cathedral. Here in the Lviv region, the bishop often comes to the liturgy in a small chapel on the hill, and people then go on foot from the surrounding villages. We don't seem to have a separate church for St. Kyriakia, but I remember how on her day in July we always bake special bread.

Council for the Greek brothers, that Vladyka Chrysostomos personally served in that modest mountain exoklis. Here in the east of Slovakia, the bishop also tries to come to the small chapel at least once a year, people come on foot from the surrounding villages. Saint Kyriakia is little known in our country, so I am glad that I read about her today.

Here in Voronezh, too, in July there are often such altar tables in small churches on the outskirts or in villages - the priest serves, and people from neighboring villages come. It’s nice that the Greek ruler did not disdain a modest exoclysion in the mountains. Saint Kyriacia seems to be almost unknown among us; we will have to read about her in the Chetya-Menaia.

I'm glad that you also do this in the Lviv region - the bishop comes to a small chapel, and people go on foot. Here in Vinnytsia, something like this happens on church holidays in the village, only they did not bake bread for Kyriakia, but they always cooked kolivo. And what kind of bread do you bake on her day, with what?

Yuliya, here in Kharkiv Oblast, we bake simple wheat bread with raisins and a little honey in the dough on the day of St. Kyriakia - nothing complicated, but it always turns out sweet. And what do you cook kolivo with in Vinnytsia, rice or wheat? It is interesting to compare.
