20 posts held, back to 28 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 18 of 20 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
348 reactions across 18 posts, in 7 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 68.4% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 238 | 68.4% | |
| 🔥 | 58 | 16.7% | |
| 😢 | 22 | 6.32% | |
| 💯 | 14 | 4.02% | |
| 🙏 | 14 | 4.02% | |
| 👍 | 1 | 0.287% | |
| 👏 | 1 | 0.287% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 18 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 348reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 28 July 2026 to 6 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
The Light of the Godhead When a person beholds the uncreated Light of God, this means that he has an experience of deification (theosis), or, in other words, a vision of God (theoptia): he sees God. And the highest vision of God is the vision of the uncreated Light. This Light of God, which is the divine energy, was manifested at the Transfiguration and is indeed the very Light of the Godhead. It is this Light that …

Saint Seraphim of Sarov, Motovilov, and the Light of Transfiguration Saint Seraphim of Sarov was once speaking with a merchant named Motovilov. The merchant asked him: "I want to understand what you mean when you say that the Grace of God exists. What is this Grace of God, and what does it mean to receive it?" For Saint Seraphim had told him: "The purpose of human life is to acquire Grace—or, in other words, the H…

Black Magic is Bad, White Magic is Good? Under no circumstances should we allow demons to teach us. “Demons also came out of many,” says the Evangelist Luke the Evangelist, “crying out and saying, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of God.’” They even had the audacity, in front of Christ, to advertise Him! And what did Christ do? Did He allow them? No. “And rebuking them, He did not allow them to speak,” He did not let th…

The devil uses this tactic: before you commit a sin, he tells you, “It’s nothing, go ahead!… it’s just a little ant.” But as soon as you do it, it turns into a lion, and he places a huge boulder of guilt on you for what you’ve done, with the aim of driving you to despair. *Hieromonk Savvas Agioritis (Homily, 14–10–2017)*

The Boy and His Bicycle A certain teacher, though pleased with all the children, was troubled by the misbehavior of one student and wanted to expel him from the school. Meanwhile, a new teacher arrived and took over the class. He gathered the relevant information about that particular student. The new teacher, learning that the boy had a passion for bicycles, on the second day, when he entered the classroom, said: …

The Church is a hospital, a place of healing, which heals the human being from all passions, both spiritual and bodily. Unfortunately, today there is a great misunderstanding about what the Church is. Instead of many people believing that the Church is the hospital where their soul can be healed, they see it as a social organization—like a system that will serve their own will. Someone says: “I got sick, I’ll go to…

Some people think that the Church prepares us for the other life, so that we may have a good time in the life to come. No! It gives us Life starting from this life. Not, of course, in its full participation and full revelation, but certainly we have a foretaste. And woe to the person who does not have a foretaste of the Kingdom of God here, said Saint Symeon, as did all the Saints. Let them not expect to taste it in…

Saint Porphyrios used to say: "When you raise your hands to pray, and you are in a state of fasting, self-restraint, and struggling against gluttony and the passion of overeating, then the moment you lift your hands, God hears you immediately." *Hieromonk Savvas Agioritis (Homily, October 14, 2016)*

Today there are Christians who claim that even if someone is fasting, they should eat so as not to scandalize others. But this is a reversal of what scandal truly is... A scandal occurs when you lead someone into sin, into disobedience. The one who eats during the fasting days is the one who causes scandal. He causes scandal because others see him and are led astray, breaking the fast themselves. *Hieromonk Savvas …

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @hieromonksavvas. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 1,105,476 of 1,549,376entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture.

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 16 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
