Hieromonk Irenei (Pikovsky)
The Holy Hierarch Cyprian is still liturgically venerated at Sretensky Monastery as its founder.
When I was visiting the site of St. John’s ascetic labors and Rila Monastery, it seemed as if I were on Mt. Athos, where everything breathes the mystery of Communion with God, the mystery of ascetic labors and the prayer of the heart.
