I am glad that Bishop Aksiy celebrated the liturgy precisely on the feast of the Tikhvin icon. The church in Stupino is familiar to me from a fishing trip nearby - a nice place. Does anyone have pictures of the service itself?

Gjergj Dhima

It's nice that Vladyka Aksiy served exactly on the holiday of the Tikhvin icon. The church in Stupino is really calm, I passed by it before the year. If someone posted pictures of the liturgy, I would be happy to see them.

Pandeli Kristo

Yes, it was really good that Archbishop Akis served on the day of the icon of Tikhvin. I know the church in Stupino a little from an old visit, I was also impressed by the tranquility there. If anyone posts pictures, I'd be happy to see them.

Pandeli Kristo

Yes, I also saw that calmness when I passed through Stupino a few years ago. I remember how my neighbor, an old man from Korça, told me that he had lit a candle there for his wife's health. Do you know Gjergj, did you go inside then or did you just go outside?

Kristina Dhima

Yes, I have been inside that church once, when I stopped for a few minutes on the way to Moscow. The calm you say made me stop and light a candle for my daughter who was preparing for exams. Do you know, Pandeli, if there is a small copy of the Tikhvin icon or just the big one on the altar?

Sofia Thanasi

Yes, Kristina, there is also a small copy of the Tikhvin icon near the entrance, not only the big one on the altar. I saw it myself when I went last year after fishing in the nearby river. Did you manage to light the candle for your daughter before you left for Moscow?

Pandeli Kristo

Yes, Kristina, that little copy by the entrance is really nice and easy to see. I myself lit a candle there a few years ago when I was reading a book about icons. Do you know if your daughter passed her exams after that prayer?

Spiro Kristo

Yes, I saw that little copy by the entrance too, it was quiet and simple. I light a candle for my daughter there before leaving, I gave thanks for her health. You fished in the river nearby – did you catch anything good last year?
