Maria LunguSlavă lui Dumnezeu. M-a bucurat să văd că părintele Anatolie Rezanovici a slujit împreună cu episcopul Porfirie, îl știu de la vizita de la Smorgon de acum doi ani. O liturghie frumoasă, cu atâția preoți din împrejurimi.

Stefan HoffmannJa, der Anatoli Rезанович war auch dabei. Den kenne ich vom Namen her aus den Berichten über Smorgon. Schön, dass so viele Priester aus der Umgebung mitgefeiert haben, das zeigt, wie der Feiertag des heiligen Wladimir die Leute zusammenbringt.
