Schön zu lesen, dass Charalampos nach so vielen Jahren als Novize jetzt den Namen Chariton bekommen hat. Die Geschichte vom heiligen Archippus und dem Wunder des Erzengels Michael hat mir gefallen – das passt gut zur Feier. Hoffentlich bleibt die Bruderschaft weiter so lebendig.

Рад за брата Харитона. Столько лет послушником в обители — это серьёзный путь, особенно из священнической семьи. Интересно, что постриг пришёлся именно на день Чуда в Хонех, с проповедью про веру святого Архиппа.
