Archimandrites Georgios Partsanakis and Paisios Kitsos, the Protopr. John Roumeliotis and the hierodeacon Melchizedek.

The psalmody from the Economou brothers from Larissa sounded beautiful—our parish chanters always speak so highly of them. Bishop Stephanos’s closing wishes for health and peace for our families really stayed with me after such a long vigil. Glory to Saint Euphemia for another wonderful feast in Voreino.

Qué bien que los hermanos Economou de Larisa volvieron a cantar en el analogio. Me quedé con las palabras del obispo Stephanos al final, pidiendo salud y paz para las familias y para todo el lugar. Gracias a Santa Eufemia.

მადლობა ამ ამბისთვის. ეკონომუს ძმები ლარისიდან ყოველთვის კარგად მღერიან, ჩვენს მგალობლებსაც უყვართ ისინი. ეპისკოპოს სტეფანეს ბოლო სიტყვები ჯანმრთელობაზე და მშვიდობაზე ოჯახებისთვის მეც დამრჩა გულში.

The Economou brothers really do bring something special to the analogion. I was there for the vigil too and found Bishop Stephanos’s words about peace for the families especially comforting after standing through the night. Did you stay for the meal they served afterward in the church hall?

Добре, че икономовите братя пак са пели – нашите в енорията все ги хвалят. Думите на владиката Стефан за здраве и мир на семействата ми останаха и на мен. А след толкова дълга бдение, ядохте ли от яденето след службата?

Sí, los hermanos Economou siempre le dan un toque especial al canto. A mí también me gustaron mucho las palabras finales del obispo Stephanos, sobre todo lo de pedir paz y fuerza para las familias de por aquí. ¿Fuiste a la vigilia, Sofía?
