I always enjoy hearing about services at the St. Paisios church—it's such a peaceful little spot next to the diocesan office. Nice to see Archbishop John there on the day of St. Elisha; did the choir sing the troparion to the prophet?

Yes, the choir did sing the troparion to the Prophet Elisha — we kept it simple but strong. Always good to see Archbishop John at that little church by the office; the staff looked glad to have him there.

It's good that bishop Jovan served at Paisi, just on the day of the prophet Elisha. I heard that they sang the troparion, that's always nice to hear in such a small church next to the administration. Thanks for the news.

Yes, the troparion to the prophet Elisha was especially beautiful in that little church. I was there last year on a similar day and noticed how it feels like everything is home, without a lot of crowds. Were you there then or just heard?

Good thing that archbishop John officiated there exactly on the day of the prophet Elisha. I heard that the trope came out strong and simple, as it should be in such a small church next to the administration. I went to a similar function last year and I liked that everything looked like a family.

I wasn't there then, but I remember how last year, after the Liturgy, Father Dušan shared a cake in the gate and we all stood and chatted like at home. That troparion to Elisha really sounds different in that little church, as if it was written for her. Have you noticed that even now, after a year, that same atmosphere has remained?
