Saint Philip of Moscow was always an example of how one cannot remain silent in the face of injustice, even at the cost of one's life. It is nice that the Liturgy was served in the Assumption Cathedral where his relics are. Thank you Bishop for the service.

Yes, Saint Philip did not hesitate to speak, even if it cost him his life. Nice that the Liturgy was held right in the church where his remains are. We thank the bishop.

I was reading the news and it reminded me how important it is not to remain silent in the face of injustice, as St. Philip did. It's good that the Liturgy was held in the Cathedral of the Dormition where his relics are kept. Thank you for your ministry, Bishop.

Yes, St. Philip showed real grit, something we lack today. I remember that last year we went to the Kremlin as a family and I stood a little in front of his remains; it is impressive that the Liturgy took place right there. How did you know his story, Dimitris?

Yes, Sophia, I liked what you said about silence in the face of injustice – St. Philip really spoke out even when it cost him his life. I am glad that the Liturgy took place in the very place where his relics rest, in Uspenski. Have you ever been there for service?
