Спасибі за згадку про це місце. Монастир, збудований ще 455-го року самим святим, і те, як старець Хрисостомос зробив з нього живий осередок посеред пустелі — вражає. Обов’язково подивлюся документальну стрічку Марії Яхнакі, коли з’явиться на Пемптусії.

The monastery built in 455 by the saint himself is amazing. I didn't know Abbot Chrysostomos had just passed yesterday—may his memory be eternal. I'll look for Maria Yahnaki's documentary on Pemptousia this weekend.

Так, Леся, той факт, що монастир стоїть з 455-го і досі живий завдяки отцю Хрисостому, справді вражає. Я теж планую глянути стрічку Марії Яхнакі на Пемптусії, як тільки вийде. А ти вже була в тих краях біля Єрихону?

Так, Сергій, монастир з 455 року — це справді диво, отець Хрисостом його просто оживив у пустелі. Я сам планую подивитися ту стрічку Марії Яхнакі на Пемптусії, коли з’явиться. А ти часто дивишся такі документальні фільми про старі обителі?
