An interesting trip. And how many days will the pilgrimage last and when exactly will you leave? I would like to calculate whether the pension will be enough.

Васил Стефанов

It would be good if they say the exact dates and how much it costs, because it is really not easy to collect from the pension. I went to Jerusalem once 12 years ago, but then it was with a different group. I wonder if the route now includes Bethlehem.

Сергій Лисенко

It is interesting that the route may include Bethlehem, as Vasyl writes. But the exact dates and price really need to be indicated, because, as Tatiana says, it is difficult to plan for retirement. Has anyone ever traveled from the Gomel Diocese?

Антон Виноградов

It would be nice to really indicate the exact dates and price, as everyone writes. My mother is retired, she also counts every penny before the trip. And Vitleyem, the last time I went with pilgrims, was definitely included in the route.

My pension's tight too, just like Tatyana and Vasil said. It would help if they posted the exact dates and price right away so we can figure out if it's doable. I went to Bethlehem with a church group years ago and still remember the cave – hope this trip includes it.

It would be good to clearly write the exact dates and the price, as everyone says. With my electrician's pension, I barely manage to put aside for such a trip. I went sea fishing once and I know how important it is to know your budget in advance.

Микола Панченко

It is interesting that almost everyone mentions Bethlehem and the pension. I would also like to go, but without exact dates and prices from the Gomel Diocese, it is difficult to even plan a vacation in the kitchen. Someone has already written to them in direct mail, maybe they will give an answer sooner?

It would be nice if they finally write the exact dates and the price, as everyone says. With the accountant's pension, it is not easy to calculate from now on whether it is coming out. Years ago I went with a group from Greece and Bethlehem was in the program, I still remember the queue outside the cave.

Πέτρος Σταθόπουλος

Well everyone says, without dates and price you can't calculate anything. As an accountant, I see my mother-in-law's pension every month and I know how tight the belt is. I hope that Gomel will soon provide the information, because the Bethlehem that Despina remembers is also one of the strongest.

Ірина Шевченко

Yes, exactly, without dates and prices, it's all like dreams in the kitchen. I also wrote to them in direct mail two weeks ago, the answer came only yesterday - a group for October 12-26, from 1450 dollars. Maybe I should write to you too, so you don't have to wait forever?

Сергій Шевченко

Yes, Irina, you're right - without dates and prices, it's just an advertisement for the wind. I also wrote to them in direct mail, I have been waiting for a week. And in that group for October, which you are talking about, were there still places, or is that all?

Марія Панченко

Yes, Sergey, without specific dates and prices, it really looks like an empty ad. I also waited for an answer from their group for almost two weeks, then I just called the diocese - they said that for October it was almost all, there were two places left. And you still haven't received anything in direct mail?
