Elder Metrophan, would you bless telling us a few things, that they may be recorded, since, as the Latin say, "scripta manent, verbe volant", meaning, the written stays, the words leave. How old are you?
-I am 93 years old and 2 months. What else do you want me to tell you?
-It is said that you had been many years at the All Holy Sepulchre, how many approximately?
-I was at the All Holy Sepulchre, I the sinner, the unworthy and the wretch, 58 whole years in the Church with 54 years spent at the All Holy Sepulchre I spent 54 Paschas at the All Holy Tomb of the Lord and I admire His mercy for me, the penniless one, the wretch and worthy of tears, I the sinner. The Lord had me from 1923, 1st November, when I arrived at Jerusalem
