“On the day on which... the Russian Church celebrates the general feast of All Russian Saints, Holy Mount Athos celebrates the common feast of all its saints... Mount Athos with the host of its devotees is of the greatest importance for the Orthodox Russian Church. On Mount Athos are the roots of all Russian asceticism. Due to the significance of the Athonite ascetics for the Russian Orthodox Church and for the Russian people, it would be appropriate in our Church Charter to celebrate the common holiday of all the saints of Athonite. But the Russian Church now cannot celebrate this holiday at the same time as Athos on the second Sunday after Pentecost, because on this day we have our own great holiday. Therefore, the feast of the Athonite saints should be moved to another day, and best of all to the previous Saturday.

Then our celebration of the Athonite saints will not be too distant from their celebration on Mount Athos, it will also correspond on Saturday on cheese week to the celebration of all the saints and, most importantly, will be a kind of pre-celebration for the spring feast of All Russian Saints" (Athanasius (Sakharov), bishop. About the feast of All Saints who shone in the Russian land, and about the service for this holiday // Service to All Saints in the land Russian beaming / Comp.: Bishop Afanasy Kovrovsky (Sakharov).
