The candles are burning so quietly this evening. It brings to mind the steady peace we’re each called to carry.

The church in Biala Podliaska seems to be from the end of the 17th century, because those thick walls and simple arches above the entrance are typical of that time. Candles are clearly visible in the photo.

The thick walls and simple arches at the entrance really suggest the end of the 17th century. Matches the carvings on the iconostasis.

The photo is from Agios Nikolaos in Bialystok. The candles there burn with beeswax brought from the surrounding villages.

Yes, those thick walls and simple arches at the entrance clearly show that it is late 17th century construction.
Patriarch Porfirije of the Serbian Orthodox Church presided over the funeral for longtime priest Vojislav Bilbija, marking the end of decades of quiet parish service. In Romania, a new chapel was blessed and a triplet of icons consecrated in the village of Otvesti. The Bulgarian Patriarch Daniil led the festal Liturgy for the Military Academy’s patronal feast of St. George and later served at the church of the Great Martyr Mina in Kyustendil. From the Orthodox Church in America, plans are underway for an Advent night of recollection aimed at young adults on December 5.
These events show the steady rhythm of clergy transitions, local blessings, and programs that keep parishes alive across very different settings. May God grant rest to His servant Vojislav and strength to all the communities carrying on their daily work.
