The monk from Vatopedi giving the sermon sounds like it brought a real Athonite touch to the feast. I always enjoy hearing when they have a connection to Mount Athos like that. Did anyone catch what he spoke about in the homily?

Јерођакон Генадије из Ватопедија је служио, то је лепо чути. У нашој цркви смо прошле године имали једног монаха са Свете Горе на слави, и увек се осети она тишина и мир који они донесу. Да ли је неко случајно чуо о чему је проповедао?

The monk from Vatopedi always brings that steady, no-nonsense style to his preaching. I caught a bit of the homily online later—he focused on how the Virgin’s Belt reminds us to guard our own faith in everyday trials, nothing flashy but solid. Have you been to any Athonite-connected feasts around here before?

The monk from Vatopedi's homily on the Virgin's Belt as a call to steady faith in daily struggles aligns with what I saw at last year's similar feast in Argolida—simple, grounded reminders that cut through the pomp. Have you attended the one in Nafplio before, or was this your first?
