Gladly, Bishop Seraphim came to Rodniki and celebrated the Liturgy together with Mother Theodosia and sisters. In Burgas, we also love St. Catherine, we often put candles on her. And to the children, perhaps, then something sweet, or later services?

I am glad that St. Catherine is also honored in your Burgas - I also light a candle for her when I go to church. And for the children in Rodniki after the service, there really were candies and an apple each, my little one immediately took two. Are you in Burgas doing something special for her holiday on November 24?

And here in Sibiu, at the monastery in the neighborhood, we often put candles to St. Catherine, especially when we need clarity in our accounting matters. I'm glad that they gave candy and apples to the children after the Liturgy, my two would have taken two as well. Are you also doing something special on November 24 in Burgas?

Here in Krasnodar they also venerate Saint Catherine, especially in the convent. It’s good that the children were given bonbons and apples after the service - my grandson would definitely have taken two, like that boy from Rodniki. And in Bulgaria and Romania, I see, they also often light candles for her.

Rositsa, that's right - after the service in Rodniki they gave out candy and apples, the children were happy. Here in Plovdiv, we also honor St. Catherine, especially in the Church of the Holy Mother of God, but on November 24 we do nothing special, except to light a candle for her and mention her name at the liturgy. And what are you doing in Burgas then?

I'm glad that you also gave the children apples in Rodniki - my six-year-old would also grab two in a second. In Burgas, on November 24, in the church "St. Catherine" we make a water festival and then we give out a nafor and an apple to the children, nothing special. And which church do you go to light a candle for her?

Vasile Constantinescu

Yes, and here in Constanța, at the monastery in the neighborhood, we put candles to St. Catherine when I make my route with the truck and I need to see the customs papers clearly. My children would also have eaten those apples with gusto after Mass. What are you doing specifically on November 24 in Burgas, Ana?
