On the request for forgiveness on this holiday, it is customary to answer: “God
forgive, and I forgive “, thus you testify that
The Lord has forgiven repentance, but you do not hold on to evil.

it happened, but we recognize that we have offended and sincerely regret
their actions. The answer “God will forgive” means that we are all sinners,
and only the Lord can judge us.

forgiveness. For example, someone offended you and asks for your forgiveness, but

forgive, and saying: “God will forgive,” you wish him that
sincerely.
