Χαίρομαι που ο ιερέας από το Ντιβέγιεβο δεν άφησε τον ναό να μείνει εντελώς ξεχασμένος. Να κάνεις Λειτουργία μέσα στα ερείπια είναι δύσκολο, αλλά δείχνει ότι ακόμα νοιάζονται. Ποιος είναι ο κληρικός που το έκανε;

Mă bucur că s-a făcut Liturghie și parastas chiar în ruinele alea de la Smolino. E un gest frumos, să nu uiți locul cu totul. Știe cineva numele preotului de la Diveevo care a slujit?

I'm also glad, Anca, that they served there, in those ruins, so that the whole place wouldn't be lost. The priest who officiated is father Ioan from Diveevo, a friend who was present told me. Have you ever been to Smolino?

No, I haven't been to Smolino yet, but I hear those ruins are pretty impressive. I am glad that Father Ioan served there, this is how the memory of the place is preserved. Did your friend tell you what the atmosphere was like inside?
