Eternal memory of Mother Dorothea. She was born all the way in Kazakhstan, and then led a monastery near Nizhyn for so many years - an interesting fate. Let's pray for her soul at the liturgy on Sunday.

Eternal memory of Mother Dorothea. She was born in 1949 in Kazakhstan, in a working-class family, and then managed a monastery near Nizhyn for so many years - a difficult fate indeed. Let's pray for her on Sunday at the liturgy.

I agree, her journey from Kazakhstan to that monastery near Nizhyn is really remarkable. I will remember her on Sunday when I pray for the dead, as you say.

That's right, Andrei, a life with many stages, from Kazakhstan to the monastery near Nijin. Let us pray for her repose, especially on Sunday at the Holy Liturgy. Thank you for reminding me of this.

Yes, the journey from Kazakhstan to Kropyvna near Nizhyn is really long and interesting. I remember Mother Dorofea when baking prosphora, because I know that she did it with her hands in the monastery. And did you know her personally or just by hearsay?

Juraj Horváth

Yes, the road from Kazakhstan to Kropyvna is really long, one would not believe it. When baking prosphora, I also remember her, because here in Humenno we do it by hand, just like in the monastery. Have you ever met her in person?
