Not long now before I set off on my pilgrimage to Russia, and Salvatore is coming with me.
It's something that had to be done. St Zozimus was one of the founders of the monastery on the Solovetsky Islands. And St Zozimus is patron saint of beekeepers.
À lot of Solovetsky and St. Zozimus is magical, mysterious, spiritual... just like a long distance bike ride. Combining the two, I'm fainting with excitement!
