Thank God, we finally have an Orthodox translation of the New Testament and the Psalter in German. I am very glad that the monastery of St. Justin of Cell in Unterufhausen did this - I read his books when he was still alive. I hope this will help many Germans who are looking for the original faith and not some modern alterations.

Thank you Radmila, you are right about the monastery of St. Justin Ćelijski - their books helped me to better understand the psalms back in the nineties. It seems to me that this translation will also be useful for our people in Germany who hardly read Serbian. Have you managed to get a copy yet?

Thank you, Đorđe, I'm really glad that you remembered those old books from Čeli. I haven't been able to get hold of this German copy yet, but my godmother from Munich has promised to send me one as soon as the shipment arrives. Have you tried reading the psalms in German or still only in Serbian?
