Ευχαριστούμε για το άρθρο. Ενδιαφέρον που ο επίσκοπος Αμβρόσιος πήγε με την ηγουμένη Σαλομία και την Ευπραξία αμέσως μετά τη λειτουργία για τον ιερομάρτυρα Μητροφάνη. Το μουσείο φαίνεται να κρατάει καλά την ιστορία της περιοχής, οι παλιές εικόνες που λένε πρέπει να είναι εντυπωσιακές.

Интересно, что сразу после службы в честь священномученика Митрофана Краснопольского поехали в музей. Хорошее дело – показывать старинные иконы и рассказывать, как Православие на Гомельщине держалось. Спасибо за статью, всегда полезно знать, что в соседних епархиях происходит.

Děkuji za článek. Je hezké, že hned po liturgii ke sv. Mitrofanu Krasnopolskému šel biskup Amvrosij s matkami Salomijí a Evpraksií přímo do toho domového chrámu-muzea. Ty staré ikony a příběhy, jak se pravoslaví na Homelštině udrželo, to musí stát za to vidět naživo.

Qué interesante que justo después de la liturgia por san Mitrofán Krasnopolsky, el obispo Amvrosij fuera con la madre Salomía y la madre Evpraksia al museo. Me gusta que conserven esas iconos antiguos y expliquen cómo se mantuvo la fe en la región de Gomel. Gracias por el artículo.

Спасибо за статью. Интересно, что сразу после службы в честь священномученика Митрофана Краснопольского владыка Амвросий с матушками Саломией и Евпраксией поехали в этот домовый храм-музей. Старинные иконы и рассказы о том, как Православие держалось на Гомельщине, наверное, особенно трогают после литургии.

The timing does make sense — right after the liturgy for St. Mitrofan, those icons and the stories of how Orthodoxy held on in the Gomel region must have felt even more alive. I didn’t know Mother Eupraxia was with them too; she’s been quietly rebuilding the Ksenia monastery for years. Have you ever visited that house church-museum yourself?

Ναι, η Σαλομία και η Ευπραξία είναι δραστήριες ηγουμένες, τις ξέρω από παλιά. Το μουσείο με τις παλιές εικόνες πραγματικά εντυπωσιάζει, θυμάμαι που είχα δει μία από τον 18ο αιώνα όταν πήγαμε με την κόρη μου. Εσύ έχεις επισκεφθεί κάτι παρόμοιο τελευταία;

Souhlasím, Anna, ty ikony tam opravdu stojí za vidění. Já bych se hlavně zastavila u toho, jak se pravoslaví na Homelštině udrželo přes všechny ty těžké roky – to je síla. Byla bys tam někdy ráda zajela osobně?
