Merci pour cet article. J’ai bien aimé la mention de la procession autour de l’église byzantine et la bénédiction des pains ; ça me rappelle les veilles de fête chez nous à Strasbourg. Le métropolite André a dû bien parler de la Vierge, dommage qu’on n’ait pas un extrait de son homélie.

Ciekawe, że po nabożeństwie była procesja wokół bizantyńskiego kościoła i poświęcenie chlebów – u nas w parafii też zawsze przy takich okazjach pieczemy prosforę i dzielimy się nią po liturgii. Szkoda, że nie podali co dokładnie mówił metropolita Andrzej o Narodzeniu Bogurodzicy, bo to jeden z moich ulubionych dni w roku.
