Patronal feast in the Church of the Transfiguration in the village of Fosforitny, Voskresensk city district 08/19/2026translated

August 19, 2026 · 1 min read

On August 19, 2026, the parish of the Transfiguration Church in the village of Fosforitny prayerfully celebrated the patronal feast day - the Transfiguration of the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ. The Divine Liturgy was led by the dean of the 1st Voskresensky deanery district, Archpriest Kirill Sedov, co-served by the rector of the church, Archpriest Roman Uzhastov. Many parishioners, including children, began the Sacraments of Confession and Communion. The chants were performed by the choir under the direction of regent S.A. Kulkova. At the end of the Liturgy, a procession of the cross took place around the church accompanied by the ringing of bells. Then the rite of blessing the fruits of the new harvest was performed. Concluding the festive service, Dean Archpriest Kirill addressed the worshipers with a pastoral sermon, congratulated them on their patronal feast day, shared thoughts about the spiritual meaning of the Gospel event and expressed sincere gratitude to the rector and parishioners for their work for the benefit of the Transfiguration Church.

I am glad that Father Kirillos Sentov spoke about the spiritual meaning of the Transfiguration. Here in Athens we do the same with the grapes after the service. How many children approached Holy Communion?
