Οι καλόγριες έχουν δίκιο που παίρνουν τον λόγο. Στο δικό μας μοναστήρι της Αγίας Παρασκευής στην Πάτρα, η γερόντισσα μας έλεγε πάντα ιστορίες από τα πρώτα χρόνια της και μας μάθαινε να τις γράφουμε οι ίδιες. Δεν είναι λίγες οι φορές που οι δικές τους μαρτυρίες μένουν άγνωστες.

That's a good point about the sisters telling their own stories. Our parish had a visiting nun from a Greek monastery last year who shared how she started baking prosphora as a young novice, and it was the first time I heard those details straight from her instead of a book. Makes you realize how much gets lost when someone else writes it for them.
