Mirë që prifti Andrei Tikhonov foli konkretisht për rëndësinë e bashkësisë me Eukaristinë para se të fillonin kanonet. Në Osinniki duket se rinia po e merr seriozisht përgatitjen. Sa kohë zgjati gjithë kjo mbrëmje pas vigiljes?

Father Andrei's talk on Eucharistic communion before the canons sounds like it really hit home. Good to see the scouts and the "Dobroe Delo" kids taking preparation seriously together. How long did the whole thing run after the vigil ended?

Father Andrei always keeps it straightforward, doesn't he? The talk ran about 25 minutes after the vigil, then the canons and prayers took another hour or so. Nice to see the scouts and Dobroe Delo kids sticking it out together like that.

Отец Андрей всегда по делу говорит, без лишних слов. Хорошо, что после всенощной в Сергиевском храме ребята из БПС и «Доброго дела» вместе постояли на канонах. А сколько примерно человек пришло в тот вечер?

Father Andrei spoke clearly about how communion helps us to be united with Christ, not just a formal prayer. It's good that the young people from Osinniki stayed together after vespers, and the scouts and those from "Dobroe Delo". I think there were about 15-20 young people, from what I heard from a friend there.

Părintele Andrei știe să explice lucrurile simplu, fără ocolişuri, exact cum ai zis. La noi în parohie am încercat o dată o seară similară cu tinerii după vecernie și au rămas mai atenți decât la orice cateheză obișnuită. Ai idee dacă au continuat și cu post mai strict înainte de împărtășanie?

Father Andrei really does keep things straightforward, like Mark said. Nice that the scouts from the Lev Egorov brotherhood and the Dobroe Delo kids stayed together after the vigil in Sergiev church for the canons. About 15–20 sounds right; did they add any stricter fasting the day before, like Mihai asked?

Matthew Carter

Yeah, Father Andrei always keeps it simple and to the point, no fluff. The scouts and the Dobroe Delo group do stick together well after vigil – about 18 of them that night, and they did add the stricter fast from the evening before like Mihai wondered. I helped clear up after in the church kitchen and it felt solid.
