God save you, Bishop Yevgeny. I am glad that in the Cathedral of St. John the Forerunner they celebrated the all-night vigil on the eve of the Cathedral of the Radonezh Saints - it is always nice when the days of St. Sergius and his disciples are so honored far from Moscow.

God save you, Bohdan. It's nice that you noticed this particular detail - in our cathedral, they always try to honor the Radonezh people, because many of our parishioners have roots from those regions. Have you ever been to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra yourself?

God bless you, Vladyka. Добре що в Єкатеринбурзи так шануют Radonezhskih, especially before their Cathedral. I have a family from Sergiyeva Posada, so it's always nice to hear when people from Moscow remember them.

God bless you, Vladyka Evgeny. It's nice to see that in Єекатеринбурзи they respect Radonezhskih so much these days — I also have a day from Moscow, so I'm always happy when they remember Serhiy Radonezhki and his students far from Lavri.

Well said, Michael. I, too, am impressed by how Sergius and his students reach the Urals, without anyone having to be from the parts of Lavra. Your grandfather from the suburbs of Moscow? Tell us, what village was he from?

Γιάννης Θεοδώρου

Yes, I also find it impressive that their price reached the Urals. His grandfather Michalis was from a small village near Zagoransk, if I remember correctly. Where are you from, Antonis?

Yes, I am also impressed by this journey of the saints to the Urals. Michalis had told me that his grandfather was from a small village a little beyond Zagoransk, but I don't remember the name. Do you, Antonis, have any connection with Radonezh?

Νίκος Αθανασίου

No, I have no personal connection to Radonezh, but I liked that you mentioned the little village near Zagoransk. Do you remember what job Michalis' grandfather did? It amazes me how such family pieces are connected to such distant places.
