Glad to see that Father Anastasy (Magdalani) came from Seattle and concelebrated. I wonder how he got to our “Hanging” church in such a hot August. It’s good that after the liturgy everyone was able to sit quietly in the hall with the bishops.

It's nice that Father Anastasius (Magdalani) came all the way from Seattle and served with ours. It must be really hot there in August, so I'm glad that after the liturgy everyone could sit in peace in the cool hall with the metropolitans. Thanks for the message.

Father Anastasy actually flew in from Seattle, I saw him after the service - he said that the flight was long, but without stops in Europe. The heat in August this year is especially severe here, and in the hall after the liturgy, although it was stuffy, we still had a good time with a cold compote. Have you seen him in our church before?
