The psalmody from the Economou brothers from Larissa sounded beautiful—our parish chanters always speak so highly of them. Bishop Stephanos’s closing wishes for health and peace for our families really stayed with me after such a long vigil. Glory to Saint Euphemia for another wonderful feast in Voreino.

It's good that the Economou brothers from Larisa sang again in the analogy. I stayed with Bishop Stephanos' words at the end, asking for health and peace for the families and for the entire place. Thanks to Saint Eufemia.

Thanks for this story. The Economus brothers from Larissa always sing well, our singers love them too. Bishop Stephen's last words about health and peace for families remained in my heart.

The Economou brothers really do bring something special to the analogion. I was there for the vigil too and found Bishop Stephanos’s words about peace for the families especially comforting after standing through the night. Did you stay for the meal they served afterward in the church hall?

It's good that the butler brothers sang again - our parishioners keep praising them. Bishop Stefan's words about the health and peace of my family stayed with me. And after such a long vigil, did you eat the meal after the service?

Yes, the Economou brothers always give a special touch to singing. I also really liked Bishop Stephanos' final words, especially about asking for peace and strength for the families here. Did you go to the vigil, Sofia?
