I remember how father Nikon told us in the seminary about how he took care of our church in exile. I once went on a pilgrimage to Jackson, the church-monument is really nice and peaceful. May the Lord give him eternal rest.

I remember that Father Nikon told us in the seminar mainly about how he maintained the connection between the parishes in America and the old homeland. That church in Jackson is really quiet, once I sat there by the pond after the liturgy and I didn't want to leave at all. May the Lord grant him eternal peace.
