It sounds like a lovely day for those 200 children. I especially liked that they were given the service books and sang the responses themselves – that kind of active part in the Liturgy really stays with them. Well done to Fr Ilarion and the whole team for organising it.

Много ми хареса, че са им дали книги с текста на службата и са отговаряли сами. Така децата наистина участват, а не само стоят отстрани. Браво на отец Иларион и на владиката Теофил, че са го организирали така.

Yeah, handing out the service books so the kids could actually sing the responses makes all the difference. I remember doing that as a kid at our parish camps — it sticks with you way more than just watching. Good on Fr Ilarion and Bishop Teofil for putting it together.

Хорошо, что детям дали книги с текстом службы и они сами пели ответы. У нас на воскресной школе тоже так делаем, и видно, как ребята потом лучше понимают, что происходит на Литургии. Молодцы отец Иларион и владыка Теофил, что всё так хорошо организовали.

Yes, handing them the books so they could actually sing the responses made all the difference. Our choir kids here in Boston remember those early Liturgy days the same way. Did any of the little ones tell you what their favorite part was?
