I am glad that they restored the church of Saint Spyridon in Petrinja. I read that he died in the earthquake, and now he is alive again. It is good when people see that the church is rising from the ruins.

It is good that the church is still standing. I read that it was damaged by the earthquake, but now people still pray there. We also remember in Telavi how the church was rebuilt on the old walls.

Nice to read that the Church of Saint Spiridon in Petrinja is standing again after the earthquake and people can pray there. Here in Hamburg we also sang about Saint Spiridon in the choir because he was so practical and down-to-earth. Hopefully the new building will now last longer than the old one.

It is good to see that the Church of St. Spiridon in Petrinja was restored after the earthquake. At home in Marseille we also had work done after the collapse of rue d'Aubagne, it gives us hope when the stones are put back in place. The saint is really the type to help people in concrete terms, as Michael says.

Yes, Gregory, after that earthquake in 2020, the church really looked scary, the walls were cracked. It’s good that the Serbs and local authorities didn’t give up; now services are going on again. Have you been to Petrina yourself or are you just following the news?
