Happy holiday, Bishop Herman! I remember how last year, after a service in our church, you talked about the life of St. Herman of Alaska. I wish you health and strength.

Thank you for the greetings. I remember how Bishop Herman spoke so simply and warmly that time in our church about Saint Herman of Alaska, about how he did not leave people in the midst of cold and difficulties. May the Lord give him health for many summers.

Thank you, Ilya, it’s good that you reminded me of that conversation after the service. Vladyka then spoke so vividly about Saint Herman, especially about his journey to Alaska, that it is still in my memory. I wish him health, of course, and strength for many years to come.

Иванка Димитрова

Yes, I too remember Bishop German talking about Saint German of Alaska after the service - especially those long boat trips in the cold. May God give him health and strength, for we need such a shepherd very much.

Yes, it's those stories about his boat trips in Alaska that always impress me - one wonders how he endured such cold and loneliness. I'm glad that Bishop German tells them after the service, so we remember them more easily. Will there be another such talk soon?

Мариана Тодорова

Yes, I also remember the story of how his boat got stuck in the ice and he had to wait for weeks. After service it really seals better. Tsvetanka, which talk did you last attend, was it on Sunday?

Илья Зайцев

Thank you, Ilya, I remember that conversation exactly. Vladyka then spoke very heartfeltly about how Saint Herman prayed in the forest on Spruce Island. Good health to him.
