The Archdiocese of Suceava and Rădăuțil recently announced that the relics of St. John the New have been moved from the chapel of the "St. John the New from Suceava" Monastery to the cloister of the same monastic settlement.

The relics of the saint were kept in the large church of the monastery, which also serves as the Archbishop's Cathedral. But during the period of restoration work, they were moved to the chapel, from where they were recently relocated, to allow restoration work to begin on the cells and chapel.

The cloister is the room or building where cult objects such as vestments and liturgical objects, icons and books used in service are kept. The cloister of the "St. John the New" Monastery is already restored and has scenes from the life and martyrdom of St. John the New from Suceava painted under the eaves.

All religious services will be held on the stage set up near the bell tower, the representatives of the monastery announce.
