Καλά που ήταν και ο κ. Μαρτίνος στη Σύμη. Η εικόνα του Ταξιάρχη Μιχαήλ που του χάρισαν είναι ωραία ευλογία, τον έχω δει κι εγώ στον Πανόρμιτο. Οι ψάλτες με τον γιο του Δημοσθένη έκαναν καλή δουλειά, σαν παλιές καλές Κυριακές.

It was nice to see Mr. Martinos there again. That little icon of the Taxiarch Michael from the Panormitis must have meant a lot to him. The chanters with Demosthenes and his son Mercurius sounded just right, like the old Sundays I remember.

Хорошо, что и господин Мартинос снова был на Симі. Икона Архистратига Михаила из Панормитиса — это достойная благодарность за его помощь. А псалты с сыном Демосфена пели душевно, прямо как в старые времена.

It was good to see Mr. Martinos back on the island too. That little icon of Taxiarch Michael must have felt like a real piece of home for him. Did you stay for the coffee after Liturgy? The chanters really did bring back those old Sunday mornings.

Хорошо, что Мартинос опять приехал на Симу, его помощь действительно большая. Икона Архистратига Михаила из Панормитиса — это точно в точку, сам видел такие в нашем храме. А вот интересно, Демосфен с сыном часто ли теперь вместе поют или это больше по праздникам?

Да, Мартинос приезжает регулярно, и помощь от него ощутимая — особенно в ремонте. Икона Панormитского Михаила действительно к месту, у нас в Самаре похожая висит у алтаря. А Демосфен с Меркурием поют вместе чаще по большим праздникам, в обычные воскресенья сын не всегда выезжает на Симу.
