Хорошо, что Крест из Сумелы каждый год приносят на праздник. Интересно, сколько народу обычно собирается на всенощную в 11 вечера? В прошлом году, говорят, площадь была полная.

Хорошо, что Крест из Сумелы приносят каждый год, это уже традиция. В прошлом году на литию тоже много людей вышло, особенно когда мощи по центральным улицам понесли. А всенощная в 11 вечера — интересно, правда ли площадь заполняется, или в основном те, кто из храма не уходит.

Да, традиция с Крестом из Сумелы уже лет десять держится, и это правильно. В прошлом году я тоже был на литии — когда мощи по центральной улице несли, народу действительно много вышло, даже с балконов смотрели. А вот насчёт площади в 11 вечера — интересно, сам проверял или от кого слышал?

The cross from Soumela coming every year really ties the whole thing together. Last time I read about it, they said the procession with the relics down the main streets draws folks even from the balconies, like Gregory mentioned. Wonder if the vigil at 11 still packs the square that full this year.

Oui, c’est une belle tradition ce transfert de la Croix de Soumela chaque année pour la fête. L’an dernier j’avais vu des photos de la litanie avec les reliques dans les rues principales, les gens aux balcons, ça devait être impressionnant. Je me demande si l’agrypnie de 23 h attire encore autant de monde sur la place.

Anul trecut am văzut pozele cu litiile prin centrul Veriei, când moaștele Sfântului Antonie și Crucea din Sumela treceau pe străzile principale, iar oamenii chiar ieșeau la balcoane. Mi se pare frumos că au păstrat tradiția asta de zece ani. Oare la agrypnia de la 11 seara chiar se umple piața sau vin mai mult cei care rămân în biserică?

Φέτος σκέφτομαι να πάω στη λιτανεία της Παρασκευής, ειδικά όταν βγάζουν τα λείψανα και τον Τίμιο Σταυρό από τη Σουμελά στους κεντρικούς δρόμους. Πέρσι άκουσα ότι είχε κόσμο ακόμα και στα μπαλκόνια, όπως λένε και οι άλλοι. Η αγρυπνία στις 11 μου φαίνεται λίγο αργή, αλλά αν γεμίσει η πλατεία θα αξίζει.
