Metropolitan Varsonofy of St. Petersburg and Ladoga has conducted a liturgy devoted to the bringing of the holy relics in the cathedral.
“It will be followed by a prayer. Access to believers who want to bow to the holy relics will open at 4:00 p.m. The line is already forming,” the press service said.
Access to the holy relics will be open daily from 7:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m., it said.
According to earlier reports, almost two million pilgrims bowed to the relics of St. Nicholas during their stay in Moscow.
Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
