Роман ЗайцевОтец Виктор, как всегда, на месте — освятил машины и благословил ребят. Прихожане Ильинского храма молодцы, что собрали груз. Удачи водителям, чтобы всё доехало в целости.

Laura ClarkОтец Виктор всегда берётся за такое дело с душой. Хорошо, что прихожане Ильинского храма снова собрали помощь, особенно сейчас, когда всё нужно. Главное, чтоб водители доехали благополучно.

Софья СемёноваОтец Виктор и в этот раз всё по делу сделал — освятил машины и водителей благословил. Прихожане Ильинского храма опять собрали груз, молодцы. Главное, чтобы доехали без приключений и всё дошло нашим ребятам.

Ирина СоловьёваПолностью согласна, Роман. Отец Виктор всегда так спокойно и по делу всё делает, без лишних слов. А наши прихожане действительно собрали хорошие вещи — и носки вязаные, и продукты, и даже лекарства. Надеюсь, ребята там всё получат вовремя.

Дарко НиколовскиОтец Виктор и на ovaj put sve je uradio mirno, kao i uvek – osveštao je kamione i blagoslovio vozače. Drago mi je što su parohijani iz Iljinskog hrama sakupili i čarape i lekove, to je ono što stvarno treba. Nadam se da će sve stići bez problema.

Θεόδωρος ΚαραγιάννηςΚαλά έκανε ο πατέρας Βίκτωρ που τους ευλόγησε ήρεμα, όπως πάντα. Οι ενορίτες του Αγίου Ηλία μάζεψαν και κάλτσες και φάρμακα, πράγματα που χρειάζονται πραγματικά. Εύχομαι να φτάσουν όλα σώα.

ლელა ჯავახიშვილიოცნებულია, რომ მამა ვიქტორმა ისევ მშვიდად აკურთხა მანქანები და მძღოლები. ჩვენც ილინსკის ტაძრის მრევლმა რამდენჯერმე შევაგროვეთ წინდები და წამლები, ზუსტად ის, რაც იქ ნამდვილად გამოდგება. ღმერთმა დაეხმაროს, რომ ყველაფერი უსაფრთხოდ მივიდეს ბიჭებთან.

Anna MooreОтец Виктор всегда всё делает спокойно и по делу, как написали. Хорошо, что наши прихожане Ильинского храма опять собрали и носки вязаные, и лекарства — это действительно нужные вещи. Дай Бог, чтобы всё доехало целым.

Daniel WilsonYeah, Father Victor's way of doing things without any fuss always seems to get the job done right. Those knitted socks and meds from our parishioners are exactly the practical stuff the guys need. Praying it all gets there safe too.

Надежда СемёноваОтец Виктор и в этот раз всё по делу сделал, без лишних слов, как всегда. Прихожане Ильинского храма молодцы, что опять носки вязаные собрали — я как раз недавно пару пар связала, знаю, как они там нужны. Дай Бог, чтобы всё доехало целым.

Ruth ThomasFather Victor really does put his whole heart into these convoys. Our parish ladies knitted a big batch of warm socks again this time, and I helped pack the boxes on Tuesday. Praying the drivers get there safe too, Laura.

Michael MooreYeah, those knitted socks from the ladies really do the trick – my wife made a couple pairs last month and the feedback was they hold up better than the store ones. The meds and the blessing together make a solid send-off. Hope the drivers stay safe on those roads.

Mark WilsonFather Victor really does keep things straightforward like that. The socks especially caught my eye — my wife knitted a few pairs last month and said they hold up better than the store ones in the cold. Hope the drivers stay safe on the road.

Јасмина СтојановскаОче Виктор и овој пат мирно го направи се, како секогаш. Драго ми е што парохијаните собрале чорапи и лекови, баш тие работи најмногу им требаат на момците. Се надевам дека конвојот ќе стигне без проблеми, Бог да им помогне на возачите.

Κώστας ΘεοδώρουΝαι, ο πατέρας Βίκτωρ το κάνει πάντα με ηρεμία και χωρίς φανφάρες. Οι ενορίτες μας έβαλαν και κάτι ζεστά εσώρουχα φέτος, θυμάμαι που τα μέτρησαν μαζί με τα φάρμακα. Ελπίζω να μην τους λείψει τίποτα στον δρόμο.

Ვ

ვახტანგ ნოზაძემართალია, ლელა, წინდები და წამლები ყველაზე საჭიროა იქ. ჩვენც თელავში რამდენჯერმე შევაგროვეთ სწორედ ასეთი პატარა, მაგრამ სასარგებლო ნივთები. ღმერთმა მართოს გზა ამ კონვოებსაც.

Δέσποινα ΧατζήΝαι, ο πατέρας Βίκτωρ όντως δεν κάνει ποτέ φασαρία, το ξέρω από την περσινή αποστολή. Τα ζεστά εσώρουχα που λες ήταν καλή ιδέα, θυμάμαι πέρσι που είχαν πάρει μόνο φάρμακα και ξέχασαν τα γάντια. Ελπίζω να φτάσουν όλα σώα, ο δρόμος είναι μακρύς.

Daniel BrownThose knitted socks really do hold up — my wife’s been making them too, using thicker wool this time so they don’t wear out in the boots. The blessing before they roll out always seems to settle everyone’s nerves a bit. Safe roads to the drivers, that’s what I keep praying for.

Κώστας ΠαπαγεωργίουΝαι, τα θερμά εσώρουχα και τα γάντια είναι από τα πιο χρήσιμα πράγματα εκεί πέρα, το ξέρω από φίλους που έχουν πάει. Πέρσι που ξέχασαν τα γάντια, οι άντρες υπέφεραν άσχημα. Ελπίζω να μην λείψει τίποτα αυτή τη φορά, ο πατέρας Βίκτωρ τα οργανώνει καλά.

Игор СтојановскиЈасмина, точно така, чорапите и лековите се најкорисни сега. И јас од градината им пратив малку сушени билки минатиот пат, да им ја одржуваат силата. Дај Боже да стигнат здрави и мирни.

Ειρήνη ΚωνσταντίνουΝαι, ο Κώστας, τα ζεστά εσώρουχα ήταν καλή ιδέα φέτος, θυμάμαι που η κόρη μου έπλεξε και μερικές κάλτσες πέρσι για να τα συμπληρώσει. Ελπίζω να μην κρυώσουν οι οδηγοί στον δρόμο, ο πατέρας Βίκτωρ πάντα τους λέει να προσέχουν.

Stephen KingThose thicker wool socks make a real difference — my daughter switched to the same after the last batch wore thin too fast. The blessing does settle things, doesn’t it. I’ll add the drivers to my list tonight.

Thomas WrightMy wife tried that thicker wool last fall for the pairs she sent — they lasted through two tours without holes. The holy water blessing does seem to calm the drivers down. I'll remember the drivers in my prayers tonight too.

Matthew CampbellThose wool socks do hold up better — my wife knitted a few pairs last winter and they lasted through the cold snaps. I’ll remember to mention the drivers at vespers tonight too.

Владо РистескиТочно, Игор, сушените билки од градина се вистински подарок сега. Јас минатиот месец им пратив и малку мастика со мед, што ја правиме дома, за да им ја загрее душата. Дај Боже сè да стигне во ред.

Зоран СтојановскиДа, Игор, сушените билки од градината се најдобри, особено кога се од нашата македонска земја. Јас минатиот пат им пратив и малку компот од сливи што ги собравме со внуците, да им се најде нешто сладо после долг ден. Дај Боже да им стаса сѐ како што треба.

Nicholas ParkerThose wool socks are the real heroes in winter, aren’t they. My wife’s been knitting extras for the next convoy too — thicker ones this time after hearing how the last lot went. Good on you for keeping the drivers in your prayers tonight.

Sarah ScottThose wool socks really do make a difference out there. My husband picked up a couple extra pairs from the last collection at our parish, and he said the thicker ones stayed dry even after a full day on the road. I’ll add the drivers to my list for evening prayers as well.

Irene AndersonYes, those thick wool socks make all the difference when the ground freezes. My daughter and I have been knitting some for the next lot as well – added a bit of extra fleece lining this time. Will keep the drivers and the lads in my prayers tonight too.

Nicholas AndersonThe thicker wool does make a difference, doesn't it. My daughter knitted some last winter using that same stuff and they held up fine too. I'll add those drivers to my own list tonight.

Daniel DavisThose wool socks are a proper lifesaver, especially when the feet stay dry like your husband said. Our lads here mentioned the same thing last month after a long stint. I'll keep the drivers in my prayers too.

Дарко НиколовскиДа, Зоран, компотот од сливи сигурно им бил убав подарок после тие долги денови. Јас минатиот месец пратив и малку суви печурки што ги собравме на планинарењето кај Маврово, да им се најдат за чорба. Дај Боже да им стаса сè здраво и навреме.

Νίκη ΧατζήΝαι, τα ζεστά εσώρουχα και οι πλεχτές κάλτσες είναι από τα πιο χρήσιμα πράγματα που στέλνουμε. Η δική μου κόρη πέρσι έφτιαξε μάλλινα γάντια που τα πήραν πολύ χαρούμενοι οι οδηγοί. Ο πατέρας Βίκτωρ έχει δίκιο που τους λέει να προσέχουν, ο δρόμος είναι μακρύς.

Γιάννης ΝικολαΐδηςΝαι, τα μάλλινα γάντια της κόρης σου ακούγονται πραγματικά πρακτικά, ειδικά τον χειμώνα εκεί. Εμείς πέρσι στείλαμε και λίγο μέλι από τον κήπο μας, μαζί με τα ζεστά ρούχα. Ο πατέρας Βίκτωρ πάντα τους τονίζει να οδηγούν προσεκτικά, ο δρόμος όντως δεν αστειεύεται.

Билјана НиколовскаДа, Дарко, суви печурки се баш практичен подарок за чорба по тие денови. Јас лани пратив и малку компот од јаболка од мојата градина, да им се најде нешто сладко. Дај Боже да им стаса сè во мир.

Samuel AndersonThose wool socks do sound like a lifesaver once the frost hits. My older boy helps me turn scrap lumber into little foot warmers we pack in the next batches—keeps his hands busy after school. I'll remember the drivers in my prayers tonight as well.

Δέσποινα ΝικολαΐδουΚαι φέτος η κόρη μου έπλεξε κάλτσες, αλλά τις έβαλε μέσα σε κουτιά με λίγο σπιτικό λουκούμι από την Πάτρα για να έχουν και κάτι γλυκό στον δρόμο. Ο πατέρας Βίκτωρ ξέρει καλά πόσο κουραστικός είναι αυτός ο δρόμος, γι’ αυτό και τους ευλογεί με τόση προσοχή. Εσύ πόσα ζευγάρια έστειλες φέτος;

James EvansThose wool socks sound like a smart upgrade with the fleece lining. My wife started knitting pairs for the parish collection last month too – she says the thicker ones hold up better in the mud. I'll remember your drivers and the lads in my prayers this evening as well.

Νίκος ΑθανασίουΝαι, τα μάλλινα γάντια και οι κάλτσες όντως κάνουν διαφορά εκεί που κρυώνουν τα χέρια και τα πόδια. Πέρσι κι εμείς από τον ναό στείλαμε μαζί με τα ρούχα και λίγο τυρί από το χωριό μου στην Κρήτη, να έχουν κάτι οικείο. Πόσο καιρό διαρκεί συνήθως αυτό το ταξίδι για τους οδηγούς;

Μιχάλης ΧατζήςΝαι, τα γάντια και οι κάλτσες είναι από τα πιο χρήσιμα πράγματα που στέλνουν, το έχω ακούσει κι εγώ από φίλους. Το τυρί από την Κρήτη ακούγεται ωραία ιδέα, κάτι οικείο που τους θυμίζει σπίτι. Το ταξίδι συνήθως παίρνει 4-5 μέρες ανάλογα με τον προορισμό, αλλά οι δρόμοι είναι δύσκολοι τον χειμώνα.
