"little paskas" was instituted by the late +Metropolitan Nicholas many years
ago. They were his gift to the parishioners. He had already ordered them
from the Potomac parish, as he always did, and they were delivered to
Johnstown in February where they were kept frozen until today. This was the last gift to the parishioners from + Metropolitan Nicholas. We all missed
him and today you could feel his absence. May his memory be eternal!
