Eternal memory to Fr. Constantine, Presvytera Styliani, and Dimitrios. Nice to see the ladies' hospitality work at Dovra still remembered after all these years. The church of St. Luke the Surgeon was a fitting place for it.

May their memory be eternal. It's good that they mentioned exactly "Filoxenia Dovra" - I remember how years ago we also sent women from our parish there for the three days, they welcomed us very warmly. It is good that they chose the church of St. Luke for the prayer.

Yes, exactly "Filoxenia Dovra" was the place where we also sent a group of women from Varna some time ago - they returned with very good words about the silence and care there. It's good that they did the prayer right in the church of St. Luke, it seems to fit such a memory. Their memory is eternal.

Yes, exactly in the church of St. Luke it was proper to change them - he heals both with silence and with prayer. We from Tarnovo also sent women there years ago, they returned calm and with bags full of homemade sweets from the sisters. Eternal memory to them.

Their memory is eternal. It’s good that they mentioned “Philoxenia Dovra” - in Voronezh, we also sent women a couple of times for these three days, they returned calm, they said that the silence in the monastery and the care of the sisters was like medicine. And in the Church of St. Luke the Doctor is the most suitable place for such a commemoration, because he also heals spiritual wounds.
