It’s good that so many locals and vacationers came together for the service. It is interesting that the bishop spoke about the uncreated light of the Transfiguration and about the place of the Mother of God between the created and the uncreated - this place was remembered in the sermon. Thank you for the detailed report, it’s always nice to read about such services on Sipnos.

I would like to ask if they sang the great Paracletic canon in the same way as here on the pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary. The description of the uncreated light of the Transfiguration and the place of the Mother of God between the creature and the monster sounds very interesting, I would listen to the whole thing. Thank you for the message from Sifnu, may everyone there be successful before the fifteenth of August.
