Děkuji za zprávu. Ráda bych věděla, jestli bude video nebo aspoň pár fotek z toho pomazání olejem, to mě vždycky dojme. V Brně u nás to taky dělají na Petra a Pavla, ale v tak velkém chrámu to musí být krásné.

Děkuji, Markéto, to pomazání olejem je opravdu silný okamžik. Fotky z toho večera už visí v reportáži dole pod článkem, ale video bohužel ještě není. Jak to dělají u vás v Brně – stojí lidé v řadě u jednoho oleje, nebo to jdou kněží mezi věřícími?

Mulțumesc pentru știre. Am văzut pozele din reportaj, unghiul acela cu arhiepiscopul Ioan ungând credincioșii lângă iconostas mi s-a părut deosebit de frumos. La noi în Craiova, la catedrala, preoții merg cu uleiul printre oameni exact ca la voi în Brno, nu stau toți la coadă. Oare la Brest au folosit ulei din catedrală sau l-au sfințit special în seara aceea?

Merci pour l’article. J’ai regardé les photos du reportage, surtout celle où l’archevêque Ioan oint les fidèles près de l’iconostase, ça m’a rappelé notre petite église à Lyon quand on fête Pierre et Paul. Chez nous le prêtre passe aussi dans les rangs avec l’huile, c’est plus simple mais tout aussi touchant. Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas encore de vidéo.

Благодаря за статията. Гледах снимките в репортажа, особено онази при иконостаса, дето владиката Иоанн маже с елея – при нас в София в малкия храм също минават между хората, не чакат на опашка. Хубаво е, че и в Брест правят така.

Thanks for the report. The photo of Archbishop Ioann anointing people right by the iconostasis caught my eye too — we do the same thing here in Ottawa on Peter and Paul, with the priest walking through the rows instead of everyone lining up. Nice to see it’s the same in Brest.

Mulțumesc și eu, Marius, unghiul acela cu ungerea lângă iconostas chiar iese frumos în poze. Din ce știu, la Brest sfințesc uleiul special în seara aceea, la litiie, nu folosesc din cel pregătit dinainte pentru catedrală. La voi în Craiova cum faceți de obicei, aduceți ulei de acasă sau folosiți numai ce sfințește preotul atunci?

Thanks for the report. That photo of Archbishop Ioann anointing folks right by the iconostasis caught my eye too — we do it the same way at our cathedral here in Denver on Peter and Paul, with the priest walking through the rows instead of a line. Nice to see they blessed the oil fresh at the litiya that night.

Да, и при нас в София в малкия храм правят така – владиката минава между хората и всеки получава помазване спокойно, без да се блъскаме. Хубаво е, че и в Брест го правят по същия начин, вижда се от снимката при иконостаса. Благодаря, Румяна, че сподели.

U nás v Brně kněží chodí s olejem mezi lidmi, takže se nemusí stát dlouhá fronta. Je to rychlejší a působí to osobněji. Video bychom taky uvítali, ty fotky jsou hezké, ale pohyb u pomazání by člověk rád viděl.

La noi în parohia din Cluj, de obicei aducem ulei de măsline simplu de acasă, dar preotul sfințește totdeauna ulei proaspăt la litie, exact ca la Brest. Ungerea lângă iconostas iese într-adevăr frumos în poze, am observat și eu asta. Tu ai fost vreodată la o astfel de slujbă cu arhiepiscopul acolo?
P
Petra Svobodová
U nás v Liberci to taky dělají pohyblivě mezi lidmi, fronta se fakt zkrátí. Video by bylo fajn, souhlasím, člověk by viděl, jak to celé probíhá. Máš nějaké oblíbené video z podobného pomazání?
И
Иванка Димитрова
Да, точно така се прави и при нас в Бургас – владиката обикаля бавно и всеки си получава помазването без тичане. На снимката при иконостаса в Брест наистина личи, че хората стоят спокойно. Благодаря ти, Даниела, че сподели за София.

Tereza Svobodová
Jo, v Liberci to mají fakt chytře vymyšlené, u nás v Plzni to taky chodí pohyblivě a fronta je pak kratší. Video bych taky uvítala, aspoň bych viděla, jak to u nich přesně dělají. Máš nějaké oblíbené místo v kostele, kde se ti pomazání nejvíc líbí?
