Congratulations to Bishop Nikander on his anniversary. It’s interesting that at the age of 40 he’s already a metropolitan, which is rare, and he’s probably worked a lot.

Ксения Тарасова

Yes, at 40 years old, a metropolitan is really fast. It is clear that Bishop Nikandr worked a lot for the good of the Church. I wonder how many years he has been in office?

Мария Соловьёва

Yes, at 40 years old, a metropolitan is a rarity. From what I read, he has been in the priesthood for more than 15 years, starting as a deacon back in the early 2000s. How did you know about him, Ksenia?

Надежда Морозова

It’s rare to be a metropolitan at 40, yes. I first heard about him three years ago, when he came to us in Samara for a patronal feast day in one of the churches. It is clear that the person is truly a hard worker.
