On the eve of the day of remembrance of the Hieromartyr Peter (Polyansky), Metropolitan of Krutitsky, the all-night vigil in the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ was celebrated by Metropolitan Vikenty of Tashkent and Uzbekistan, Metropolitan Kliment of Kaluga and Borovsk, Metropolitan Alexy of Chelyabinsk and Miass. The clergy of the Chelyabinsk diocese served with the archpastors. The hymns were performed by the Bishop's male choir "Axios". The celebration of the Council of Saints of the Chelyabinsk Metropolis, which began today, continued with an all-night vigil. With the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus', six holy martyrs and martyr Paraskeva Kochneva were included in the Cathedral of Saints of the Chelyabinsk Metropolis. All of them suffered at the hands of godless authorities in 1918-1939. The Council is headed by the Holy Martyr Peter, Metropolitan of Krutitsky. The day of the celebration of the Council is tied to the day of his memory: the holy martyr Peter was shot on October 10. During the all-night vigil, the glorification of the Hieromartyr Peter was sung. During the reading of the canon, Bishop Vincent anointed the parishioners with blessed oil.

Tomorrow, October 10, at 17:00, in the lower church the archpastors will lead the meeting of the ark with a particle of the relics of St. Philaret of Moscow. Then the festive all-night vigil will begin...

Thanks for the article. It's good they tied the new Council of Saints directly to Metropolitan Peter's feast day, since he heads the group. I'll try to make it to the relic meeting tomorrow at 5 in the lower church.
