I have a question, my friend. Why do your hierarchs sign their letters with simply their first names? It is true that ours do too, but their names are those given to them at their monastic professions and are not their birth names, nor do they really have "last names", or at least last names that are used.

Actually, they don't... I think... I 've never actually paid close attention, but I think there are a variety of ways they sign.
