A Priest Remembers the Sisters of Panagia Roso on Kalymnos

What the video says

A priest speaks from the monastery of Panagia called Roso on the island of Kalymnos. He was sent there by his gerontas Philotheos, of recent blessed memory, to learn from the sisters. He names the sisters who showed him patience and love: Gerontissa Agni, Adelphi Maria, Adelphi Evsevia, and Adelphi Christofora.

He recalls how they would pick him up at the port coming from Rhodos, feed him late at night, and let him sleep in the cell of Saint Amphilochios. During his stays he served liturgies and sometimes heard confessions from people on Kalymnos. He expresses gratitude to Saint Savvas, whose name he brings up at every divine liturgy, and encourages everyone to be closer to the Church, to love Christ and His mother the Panagia, and to take part in the life the Lord gives in His Church.
