Спасибо, что рассказали. Особенно запомнилось, как владыка Георгий перед отпустом подробно разбирал аполитик святого Прокопия и объяснял, что такое настоящая «мартырия». У нас в хоре как раз поют это тропарь, теперь буду слушать его по-другому. А в Турио, говорят, очень старенькая церковка — интересно, сохранились ли там фрески?

Благодаря за новината. Особено ми хареса как владиката Георгий преди отпуска разнищи аполиткия на свети Прокопий и какво точно е „мартирия“ – и аз като чуя тропаря в хора, вече ще го слушам по-внимателно. А в Турио наистина ли е толкова старо параклисчето, колкото казват?

Спасибо, что поделились. Особенно понравилось, как владыка Георгий перед отпустом подробно разобрал апполитикий — про силу Креста и как Прокопий посрамил Велиара, теперь и я этот тропарь по-другому слышать буду. А в Турио действительно такое древнее церковка?

Καλά που το ανέφεραν για το Θούριο. Το εκκλησάκι του Αγίου Προκοπίου εκεί είναι όντως πολύ παλιό, από τον 12ο αιώνα νομίζω, και ο Μητροπολίτης έκανε καλά που μίλησε γι’ αυτό μετά τη Λειτουργία. Το απολυτίκιο που ανέλυσε με τον Σταυρό και τον Βελίαρ το έχω ακούσει χρόνια στο ψαλτήρι, αλλά τώρα θα το προσέχω περισσότερο.
