Thanks for the detailed schedule. Last year I went to the Monday night vigil and I remember how the church music rang out in the cold mountain air at 4 in the morning. I'll try to get to Sfântul Maslu now at least from 6:00, if the job allows me.

And I was at that Monday night vigil two years ago. When the Liturgy began at about 4:30, the mountain coolness came in through the open windows and the voice of the Protopsalter could be heard clearly, without any background noise. I hope you get to Maslu too, maybe we'll see you there at 6:00.
