How good that Bishop Iosiya was able to preside over the liturgy on Church Day. I remember that last year I was at a similar party in a small town and people filled the church early. Does anyone know if there was a procession with the cross afterwards?

Yes, you are right, Sophia, Bishop Ioasaph is always serene and prayerful when he celebrates the Divine Liturgy. In our village Perse in Hypsoi, we made a procession with the Cross around the church after the liturgy on the Feast of the Venerable Cross, with everyone holding flowers. Does anyone know if the same happened in Lyskophska?

Last year we also had a bishop serve at the Exaltation, only in a different church. I wonder if after the liturgy there was a godmother with banners around the church in Chernukha? People usually come with flowers, just like the Greeks write.

У Крестовоздвиженском храму у Чернухи увек лепо на Воздвиженье. Епископ Иосија служи мирно, то се види и на фотографијама. Код нас у парохији прошле године после Литургије ишли смо са крстом око цркве, људи су носили цвеће из баште, питам се да ли је и тамо било тако.
