That’s a beautiful spot for the feast — I’ve always loved the monastery at Prophet Elias near Stegopoulo. The call to stay unshaken in the faith is exactly what we need right now; thanks for sharing the Metropolitan’s words.

Yeah, that monastery has a great view over the valley — I was there a couple summers back helping with some wiring in the guest house. The Metropolitan’s words hit home; it’s easy to get distracted these days. Have you been to the feast there recently?

Yeah, that view from Prophet Elias is hard to beat, especially at sunset. I helped run cables there myself back in 2019 when they upgraded the guest-house Wi-Fi. Been meaning to get back for the feast but work keeps me in Denver—how was the crowd this year?

The monastery at Prophet Elias has always felt like a proper piece of home. I’m glad Metropolitan Nathanael reminded everyone to stay steady in the faith instead of chasing every distraction. We could all use that reminder on a regular Tuesday, never mind at the feast.

The view really is something, especially when the light hits those hills at the end of the day. I was there this year with my daughter after the Liturgy; the crowd felt steady but not overwhelming, mostly locals and a few pilgrims from nearby villages. Have you managed to get back to the monastery since you sorted that Wi-Fi?
