Greeting His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon and those accompanying him, Bishop Foma of Bronnitsy, abbot of the monastery, said in particular: \u201cToday we welcome you not as guests, but as our brothers who at some point in the past had left to deal with very important matters, but now have returned to the holy abode, dear to them, in order to together with us pray to and praise St.\u00a0Tikhon, meet with us and regain strength to continue their labours. It is our heartfelt wish that such visits may be more frequent.\u201d<\/p>\n
