It is good that Metropolitan Matthew went all the way to Birobidzhan for the feast of Saint Peter. Far away in Russia, the Liturgy certainly brings people together. Who was the priest who officiated with him?

Metropolitan Matthew did go far, as far as Birobidzhan, and the Liturgy there certainly gave courage to the locals. I did not see the name of the priest who officiated, but usually on such feasts it is the protosygelos or vicar of the cathedral. How did you learn this news from the parish website?

Ευάγγελος Αναγνώστου

Yes, Birobidzhan is far away, but it seems that Matthew's presence gave special joy there. I did not find that they say who the concelebrant was, maybe it was the vicar of the church himself. How did you watch the event?

The article is only the beginning, but it is clear that Bishop Matthew served precisely on the day of the transfer of the relics of St. Peter. I wonder if the local rector was there or if someone from the diocese concelebrated. Here in Krasnodar, too, bishops often come to such throne events, and it is always noticeable how the people gather.
