Maria LunguGlory to God. I was happy to see that Father Anatolie Rezanovici served together with Bishop Porfirie, I know him from his visit to Smorgon two years ago. A beautiful liturgy, with so many priests from around.

Stefan HoffmannYes, Anatoli Rezanovich was there too. I know his name from the reports about Smorgon. It's great that so many priests from the area celebrated, it shows how the holiday of St. Vladimir brings people together.
