In his sermon, His Holiness referred to the upcoming Feast of the Transfiguration of the Savior, a feast where Christ's decisions and actions prove Divine justice, but also the interest in ensuring the salvation of souls.

А в Карице, похоже, батюшка Павел много потрудился, раз столько часовен поставил.
