Тази година не успях да отида до Егина, но като прочетох за литийното шествие покрай гроба на митрополит Иеротей, се сетих колко пъти съм минавала оттам с децата. Радвам се, че са били толкова много хора и че е имало и духова музика. Благодаря за описанието, чувствам се сякаш съм била там поне за малко.

Am citit cu bucurie despre litania cu icoana și capul Sfântului Nectarie în jurul bisericii mari. M-a impresionat că au făcut trisaghion exact la mormântul mitropolitului Ieroteu, care a zidit totul acolo. Anul ăsta n-am ajuns nici eu la Egina, dar descrierea ta, Росица, m-a dus cu gândul la anii când mergeam cu fiul meu mic pe același drum. Mulțumesc.

Da, litania a fost frumoasă, mai ales momentul acela la mormântul mitropolitului Ieroteu – parcă leagă totul. Și eu îmi amintesc cum mergeam cu băiatul meu mic pe aleile alea din Egina, acum câțiva ani. Ai de gând să ajungi anul viitor?
