Nice to see that Archbishop Chrysostom himself led the service. I am particularly pleased that Father Ioannis Giokkas from Mammari was also there - I know him from a previous visit there. May the new church year bring peace to all of us.

Glad to see that Metropolitan Chrysostomos led the service himself, and Father Ioannis Gioccas of Mamari was also present. Here in the Lviv Region, we always celebrate the Indictment, even without such a big cathedral. May the new church year be peaceful for everyone.

I am glad to see that you, in the Lviv Region, also preserve the tradition of Indict, albeit more modestly. Father Ioannis Gioccas really always serves diligently, I have known him since the time when he visited us in Cyprus. And how exactly do you celebrate the beginning of the church year in your parish - simply with a Liturgy or do you do something else?

Okay, I read carefully too. I am glad that Father Ioannis Giokkas from Mammari served together with the Metropolitan, I know him since I visited some relatives in Cyprus once. Here in Iași, the Indict goes more unnoticed, with just an ordinary service, without so much of a cathedral. How was the metropolitan's sermon, did he say anything special for the new year?
