On September 3-4, believers of the Polotsk diocese made a pilgrimage to Smolensk to venerate the relics of St. Spyridon of Trimythous. In the amount of 49 people, pilgrims visited the Assumption Cathedral, where they venerated the relics of the saint and prayed at a prayer service with an akathist to the miracle worker.
Believers knelt before the icon of the Mother of God “Hodegetria” of Smolensk, venerated the relics of Mercury of Smolensk and other saints of God. We also got acquainted with the life of St. Spyridon of Trimyfutsky. After praying, the pilgrims returned home safely with great joy. The trip was organized by the Hodegetria pilgrimage center in cooperation with the parish of the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin in Polotsk.
