Reviews of St John's Orthodox Church

I love this place. It is a nice community. The church is big, it has a place where you can make yourself a coffee or a tea, some sitting area inside where you can eat and bring food to share with others. Also a playroom inside and a play area outside. A pleasure to spend the morning on a Sunday. In the summer they use the garden as a parking area and in the winter you can find parking on the nearby streets. The playroom is very handy when the young children want to do something else than listening to the prayers. Highly recommended.

The church back in the day used to serve as a shelter to accommodate soldiers during the war period. Many icons around with portrayed Saints. Very warm and welcoming setting.

Beautiful choral singing and liturgy in three languages (English, Slavonic and Romanian). There are beautiful icons and a unique atmosphere. Very nice people and an unmissable experience. Members of the congregation don't say anything during prayers or liturgy. It is normal to stand for the duration of the service, but there are some chairs if you need to sit down. Sunday services normally start at 10am. The church is only open during services.

(Translated) Superb! The Divine Liturgy is partly Romanian, it is a Roman priest and a beautiful Romanian community. The Russian father is special, every time he greets me in Romanian. The Russian choir is also very special, but the melodic line of singing on the side is a bit different from ours. Saturday is dinner from 17:30. In conclusion, a delightful experience! (Original) Superb! Sfanta Liturghie e partial si in limba româna, este preot roman si o comunitate romaneasca frumoasa. Parintele rus e deosebit, de fiecare data m-a salutat in romaneste. Corul rus e si el deosebit, doar ca linia melodica a cantarilor de la strana e putin diferita de a noastra. Sambata e vecernie de la 17:30. In concluzie, o experienta incântătoare!

(Translated) I attended a baptism here, the priest is very understanding and polite, gentle with the child - an example for other priests and a church to remember. (Original) Am participat la un botez aici, preotul e foarte intelegator si manierat, bland cu copilul- un exemplu pentru alti preoti si o biserica de tinut minte.
