I didn't realize the harbor at Hilandar had been restored so thoughtfully. It's good to see the Order of St. Sava recognizing the people who actually did the practical work there. Makes me want to light a candle for them this Sunday.

It is good that the order was given to those who actually restored the pier, and not just signed the papers. In our parish, it also often happens that volunteers do everything with their hands, and thanks go somewhere higher. I will light a candle for them on Sunday, as will Sarah.

That's a nice point about giving the award to the ones who actually did the hands-on restoration instead of the paper-pushers. Our Sunday school kids just learned about St. Sava last week, so this hits home. I'll remember them during the proskomedia on Sunday too.

It's good that the award went to those who actually worked with their hands in the port of Chilandarios and not to those who just signed. In our fishing village, we know how much the work done on site counts. I will also remember to light a candle on Sunday.

I hadn't heard the details on the harbor restoration either until this piece. The guys who did the actual stonework and timber framing deserve that kind of recognition. I'll remember to mention them when I light my own candle this Sunday too.
