Nice to see Bishop Nikolaos serving there. The feast of the Exaltation of the Cross always feels extra solemn up at Kouka monastery. Did they have the usual procession with the relic after Liturgy?

Pavol Novák

Yes, I saw the photos, Bishop Nikolaos served nicely. They had a procession with the relic after the Liturgy, as always, people slowly walked up to the cross. At our place in Košice, we only had a small dinner on Saturday, but it was still good.

Yes, the procession up to the cross always sticks in my mind from the photos. Bishop Nikolaos looked very focused during the Liturgy too. We only managed a small evening service here in London, but it was still peaceful.
