Svećenik mi je najm pričao kako je sveti Sisoje baš u toj ispposnici proveo poslednje godine u tišini. Lepo je što se slava obeležava tamo gde je zaista živeo. Hvala što ste preneli vest.

Lepo što se slava drži baš tamo gde je sveti Sisoje proveo svoje poslednje godine u tišini. Podseća čoveka koliko je važno imati mirno mesto za molitvu, makar to bilo samo pola sata u danu. Hvala na vesti.

Yes, it is this silence in the cave at Prohor Pčinje that is the strongest in his life. The priest told you well, I read myself that Sisoje spent his last years there almost without saying a word. Have you ever been to this ispposnica?

Agnieszka Kaczmarek

Yes, the silence in the cave is truly memorable. I read that Sisoje hardly talked in these last years, only prayed and weeded the garden at the entrance. And were you there? I was there with my husband two years ago in the summer and I still remember the cold and the smell of stone.

It's nice that they keep the slava right there in the cave where he lived out his last quiet years. I try to grab twenty quiet minutes in the morning before the kids get up, but it's never as still as that. Have you ever visited the monastery yourself?

Olivia Lewis

I’ve never made it to the monastery yet, but my husband and I hiked part of the trail near Pčinja a few summers back and the quiet there really stays with you. Twenty minutes before the kids wake up sounds like a victory already. Do you light a candle or just sit with the prayer rope?

Karolina Nowak

Yes, the silence there is really impressive, I have read about it myself. I was in this ispposnica only once, when my husband was alive, and I still remember how difficult it was to stay there for more than half an hour. And when did you get there?
