Re: Lesna: repose of schema-female-monk Angelina


Thanks for this information, Jean-Serge.

Do you know WHEN Mother Angelina was the Abbess ?
Had to be before Abbess Makrina, but directly before ?
Or some years earlier ?

I too am surprised at Met Demetrios' serving the pannikhida, but maybe he was the only clergyman around at the time ...

Re: Lesna: repose of schema-female-monk Angelina

Because prayers for the repose of a venerable nun is more important than partisan bickering?

This is not an ecclesiological or canonical argument but a sentimental one... The risk is also to cause displeasure among the synod of Agafangel...
