Хорошо, что в этом году снова собрались столько священников, особенно видно, как отец Астериос, сам строитель часовни, молился вместе со всеми. Интересно, что именно про жизнь святого Мелетия говорил архимандрит Тимофей — про его подвиги в горах или про то, как он монастыри устраивал? У нас в Нижнем тоже в конце лета много престольных, всегда душа отдыхает на таких службах.

Да, отец Астериос действительно стоял весь вечер с таким тихим, сосредоточенным лицом, видно было, что для него это не просто храм, а его детище. Про жизнь святого Мелетия архимандрит Тимофей больше говорил о том, как он в горах подвизался и сколько раз монастыри восстанавливал после разорения. А у вас в Нижнем какой престольный в конце лета самый любимый?

Радвам се, че и тази година отец Астериос е бил там с такова съсредоточено лице – все пак той е ктиторът на параклиса. Интересно ми е дали архимандрит Тимофей спомена и за това как свети Мелетий е възстановявал манастирите в планината, или само за подвизите му. Хубаво е, че са се събрали толкова свещеници за вечернята.
