I have passed by my aunt Aggeliki's shop in G. Gennimata, and it has always been a good thing that they have held vigils there. I saw it in the monastery magazine, I will pay attention to the start time.

I'll try to do it this year, because I didn't make it last year. То метохі стін Γ. Γεννηματα 5 is close, η θεία Αγγελική is right to write it in the magazine. Only that 8 o'clock is a little late for me, I will give.

Θα προσπαθήσω να έρθω και φέτος, γιατί πέρσι έχασα την αγρυπνία. Το μετόχι στη Γ. Γεννηματά 5 είναι κοντά στο σπίτι της θείας μου, όπως γράφει και ο Πέτρος, οπότε η ώρα 8 το βράδυ μου βολεύει. Μόνο που το πρωί δεν θα έχει δεύτερη Λειτουργία, αυτό να το θυμηθώ.

Θα προσπαθήσω να έρθω κι εγώ φέτος, το μετόχι στη Γ. Γεννηματά 5 μου είναι κοντά. Πέρσι δεν τα κατάφερα λόγω δουλειάς, αλλά η ώρα 8 το βράδυ μου βολεύει. Να θυμηθώ μόνο ότι το πρωί δεν θα έχει δεύτερη Λειτουργία.

I also went to the agheasma there once, at the meeting place in G. Gennimata 5. This year I try to come on Friday evening from 8, but don't forget that on Saturday morning I don't do the second Liturgy anymore. Thanks for putting the exact time.

Thank you, Anton, for writing. The address is correct, G. Gennimata 5, easy to get to. Last year I also missed the start because of work, but this time I’ll try to come early. Will you be alone or with one of ours?

Роман Зайцев

Θα προσπαθήσω να έρθω κι εγώ φέτος. Το μετόχι στη Γ. Γεννηματά 5 είναι δυο στάσεις από το σπίτι μου, όπως λένε και οι άλλοι, οπότε η ώρα 8 το βράδυ μου βολεύει. Να θυμηθώ μόνο ότι το πρωί δεν θα έχει δεύτερη Λειτουργία.

Try it, Mykola, because I missed it last year too and then regretted it. The address is really convenient, five minutes from the subway, but 8 in the evening is too late for me - usually by 7 I'm already tired after work. Maybe we will come together a little earlier so that we have time to put the candles quietly?

Mykola, I also missed it last year and regretted it later. The address is really convenient, five minutes from the subway - I walked. But at 8 o'clock in the evening is normal for me, after the shift I have time to have a snack and come. Let's meet at 19:40 at the entrance, let's light the candles without haste?
