Emergency hospital staff visited St. Catherine's Cathedraltranslated

October 9, 2026 · 1 min read

Employees of the Regional Clinical Emergency Hospital visited St. Catherine's Cathedral. Doctors bowed to the relics of Saint Matrona of Moscow - one of the most revered Russian saints, to whom they come for consolation and help in the most difficult circumstances.

The group was accompanied by the head of the medical direction of the social department of the Ekaterinodar and Kuban diocese, the rector of the Church of St. Luke of Crimea at the Emergency Hospital, Priest John Usachev.

The work of a doctor is constant stress, other people's pain and fear, decisions on which life depends. In such a rhythm it is easy to forget about yourself. But this is why it is so important to stop sometimes and take care of your soul.

Saint Matrona of Moscow herself went through the path of suffering and served people to the end. Saint Luke of Crimea, a surgeon and archpastor, combined a scalpel and prayer in his life.

Their example speaks of a simple thing: medicine and faith do not contradict each other, but complement each other.

The post Emergency hospital staff visited St. Catherine’s Cathedral first appeared on the website of the Ekaterinodar and Kuban diocese.
