Хорошо, что в этом году снова собрались столько священников, особенно видно, как отец Астериос, сам строитель часовни, молился вместе со всеми. Интересно, что именно про жизнь святого Мелетия говорил архимандрит Тимофей — про его подвиги в горах или про то, как он монастыри устраивал? У нас в Нижнем тоже в конце лета много престольных, всегда душа отдыхает на таких службах.

Да, отец Астериос действительно стоял весь вечер с таким тихим, сосредоточенным лицом, видно было, что для него это не просто храм, а его детище. Про жизнь святого Мелетия архимандрит Тимофей больше говорил о том, как он в горах подвизался и сколько раз монастыри восстанавливал после разорения. А у вас в Нижнем какой престольный в конце лета самый любимый?

Радвам се, че и тази година отец Астериос е бил там с такова съсредоточено лице – все пак той е ктиторът на параклиса. Интересно ми е дали архимандрит Тимофей спомена и за това как свети Мелетий е възстановявал манастирите в планината, или само за подвизите му. Хубаво е, че са се събрали толкова свещеници за вечернята.

Yes, Father Asterios stood next to us all evening, it was clear how personal this was for him. And Archimandrite Timothy was telling in detail how Saint Meletios labored in the mountains and how many times he raised monasteries after destruction. In Novosibirsk, too, at the end of summer we have church services one after another, after such a service it’s as if you gain strength for a week. What is your favorite church in Nizhny for these holidays?
