 * Symbol question.svg What a life! Good sources, + inspiring! Like ALT1 better. How about the English title in the article? Perhaps even in a hook ALT2? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * ps: we have Gavrielia and Gavrilia, - please explain or correct one, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:31, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * First an explanation and then a proposal :) My "l" key doesn't work well. I am always leaving it out of public (thankfully someone fixes it for me). When I went back to retype the "l"s, I inadvertently took out the "e"s. *sigh* Anyway, it's fixed. Your suggestion lets me do what I originally wanted but thought that someone would kick out. Because she was neither nun or elder at the time ... so what about"
 * ALT2: ... that physiotherapist Avrilia Papayannis lived as a hermit in the Himalayas before becoming a Greek Orthodox nun later known as Elder Gavrielia? SusunW (talk) 17:28, 13 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Good, changed just one word, thinking of Mother Teresa, - more familiar and more caring-sounding (I think) than Elder (statesman);)
 * ALT3: ... that physiotherapist Avrilia Papayannis lived as a hermit in the Himalayas before becoming a Greek Orthodox nun later known as Mother Gavrielia? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg, prefer ALT3, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
