First time they're serving Liturgy for the Ljubljana martyrs? That's great news. I hope the parish keeps building on it so more people can learn who they were and what they went through.

Валентина Павлова

Хорошо, что начали служить первую Литургию именно им. Я в новостях про этих мучеников мало что знала, теперь захотелось почитать, кто они были и как всё произошло. Пусть дальше продолжают, чтоб люди помнили.

Olivia Lewis

That's good to hear. I didn't know much about the Ljubljana martyrs until last year when our Bible study group looked at 20th-century saints from that region. Hope the parish adds a short talk after the Liturgy next time so folks can learn the details without having to dig through books.

Bine că au început să slujească prima Liturghie pentru Sfinții Mucenici de la Ljubljana. Nici eu nu știam prea multe despre ei până acum, dar am citit puțin aseară și mi s-a părut că au fost niște oameni simpli, prinși în vremuri grele. Sper să continue, poate data viitoare să pună și o scurtă istorisire după slujbă, cum zice Olivia.

Margaret Evans

That's wonderful to hear. Our choir sang the hymns for the first time last month and it really brought the story home—those poor men executed right after the war for refusing to deny their faith. Do you know if any of their relatives still live in the area?

Bogdan Radu

Well said, Cristian. And I only now found out the details about them, ordinary people caught between the fronts and the camps, as you said. It would be good to add a short history after the Liturgy, as Olivia suggests, so that those who come for the first time can understand.
