Hi, honey! Well, the trip was great! My choir was invited to take part in the services during the visit of the Serbian Patriarch Irineos in Vienna. It was tiring, because the Orthodox services are very long and it takes a lot of strength and energy to endure them, especially because there's always more than one service a day, the Holy Liturgy and the evening service. What makes all this choir singing stuff even more difficult is the fact that we in the Serbian Church stand during the services! The Serbian community in Vienna is considerable, about 200. 000 people and the state of Austria takes a really good care of them, which means they give them a lot of money, so all the church feasts and celebrations are luxuriously organized. That's why they always call us and pay all our expanses.
