Night Divine Liturgy by bishop's service in the Cathedral of the Epiphany in Irkutsktranslated

On the night of September 6-7, 2026, before farewell to the right hand of St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, a night Divine Liturgy was celebrated in the Epiphany Cathedral. The solemn service was led by three bishops: Metropolitan of Irkutsk and Angarsk Maximilian, Bishop of Bratsk and Ust-Ilimsk Konstantin and Bishop of Nerchinsk and Krasnokamensk Macarius, co-served by the clergy of the Irkutsk and Bratsk dioceses. The reverent singing of the male choir “Znamenie” under the direction of regent Trofim Popodko created a special atmosphere of monastic Greek worship thanks to the sound of Znamenny chant and Greek chants. Addressing the worshipers at the end of the liturgy, Metropolitan Maximilian noted: “Today we have visited many thousands of kilometers from here - to Kerkyra, Corfu. He brought the grace that Saint Spyridon of Trimifuntus has to us in his right hand, and we, out of our love for him, received it. The most precious thing that can be in life is the grace of the Holy Spirit, which is given to the believer and to the one who thirsts for this grace.
