Sometimes an ascetic would come to Samtavro to see St. Gabriel, Staretz Vassilios Svetsi, from the Lavra Pskov Petsora (a very large Lavra in Russia), who stood out for his great kindness and humility. It was a pleasure to see these two great ascetics and saints together. So I captured them with my camera. When Fr. Vassilios saw the photo, he said with a smile:
- You defeated me Gabriel! In this photo it looks like I am the saint and you are the sinner!
