Вична пам'ять владици Володимиру. It's good that bishop Viktor Bed's vidsluzhiv litiyu same in these days, because 12 years — it's already a solid date, and we still remember him in Zakarpattia.

George Wright

Вічна пам'ять митрополиту Володимиру. Добре, що владика Віктор Бедь відслужив літію саме до 12-ї річниці, бо в Закарпатті його справді ще добре пам’ятають з тих часів.

Πέτρος Σταθόπουλος

Eternal memory of Metropolitan Volodymyr. It's a good thing that Vladika Viktor Bed' didn't forget about this date in Mukachevi, because in us in Zakarpattia he will still be remembered from those years when he was often here.

Татьяна Михайлова

The memory of Metropolitan Volodymyr is eternal. It’s good that Bishop Victor Bed himself served his summer in Mukachevo until the 12th river - in Transcarpathia we can still remember from these trips when he served in small churches.

Ana Stanković

Eternal memory of Metropolitan Volodymyr. Добре, шо владика Виктор Бедь відслужив литію саме в Mukachevi, бо в нас у Закарпатти гого доси згадують з тих років, коли він приєжджав и в маленькі сільські храмі служів.

Andreea Matei

Yes, 12 years go by fast. And here in Constanța, Metropolitan Vladimir is sometimes mentioned, especially by those who knew him from his youth. What part of Zakarpattia are you from, Mihai, why do you remember him so well?

Radu Constantinescu

Yes, 12 years go by fast. Here in Bucharest, Metropolitan Vladimir is still remembered for the way he visited the small parishes in the mountains, not just the cathedrals. You, Mihai, from which village near Mukacevo are you from, why do you remember him so well from those times?

The memory of Metropolitan Volodymyr is eternal. It’s good that Vladika Viktor Bed served the liturgy himself in Mukachevo, and not just in the cathedral - here in Transcarpathia, there are plenty of people who can remember how they came to small rural churches. My mother-in-law tells all about those trips.

Христо Христов

Eternal memory to Metropolitan Volodymyr. It's good that Bishop Victor Bed served lithium in Mukachevi itself, and not only in the cathedral — here in Transcarpathia, many people will remember how he came to small village churches. My grandmother from Svalyavi also often talked about those trips.

Красимира Василева

Eternal memory to Metropolitan Volodymyr. It's good that Bishop Victor Bed served lithium in Mukachevi itself, and not only in the cathedral - here in Veliko Tarnovo, they also often mention how he came to small churches, and not only in big cities. My mother-in-law still tells about such a service in a mountain village.

Petru Dumitrescu

Вична пам'ять владици Володимиру. It's good that Bishop Victor Bed served the liturgy exactly in Mukachevi, and not only in the cathedral — we have many in Zakarpattia who will remember how he came to small village churches. Моя титка з-пид Тячова still tells, як вин службу у них на Великдень у 90-х.

Иванка Стоянова

It's true, Bishop Viktor Bede is not shy about going to small places, that's nice. Here in Plovdiv, they also remember him from a service in a village near the Rhodopes years ago. Your mother-in-law from Veliko Tarnovo must have been very moved, tell me what exactly she remembers from that mountain liturgy?

Ilie Popa

Yes, I also remember how he used to come to the small parishes in Maramureș. My aunt from Vișeu said that at an Easter liturgy in '97, she stayed for almost an hour to talk with the elders after the service. Worthy mention!

Γιάννης Μακρής

I agree, Peter. I too remember the blessed one since he often went to Mukachevo; the service of Viktor Wed was the right choice so that the 12th anniversary would not be forgotten. Where exactly did you hear him then?

Andrei Constantinescu

I see that you in Zakarpattia also remember him fondly. I once read an interview with Metropolitan Vladimir from his youth, when he was at the seminary, and it stuck in my head how simply he spoke about faith. Did you know him personally or through jobs at Muncaci?
