Rain has welcomed around 550 pilgrims on the Holy Mountain Grabarka this year.
Polish Orthodox Church
The meeting of Orthodox youth started with an evening vesper served by metropolitan Sawa together with bishop Jerzy and it was followed by blessing the water in the spring. The young people were also welcomed by Tomasz Hanczaruk the President of Fellowship of Orthodox Youth in Poland.
The 30th anniversary of youth meetings in May on the Holy Mountain Grabarka was celebrated by the photos presenting “The thirty years of youth pilgrimages on the Holy Mountain Grabarka”.
As each year also this year a wooden cross commemorating the pilgrimage was blessed and put next to the old ones. The program of the meting included many services (panichida, prayer to the holy martyr Gabriel, all night vigil, Divine Liturgy on Saturday and Sunday mornings) but also Q&A sessions with fathers, football tournament and many lectures or discussions.
On the Saturday evening a bonfire was started by bishop Jakub. The entertainment was provided by the band Chwyla singing known and unknown Ukrainian songs. After that pilgrims continued singing with the guitar played by father Dymitr Tichoniuk to the late night hours.
