Happy birthday, Bishop Hilarion! It’s good that so many priests came to serve together on this very day. And the day of remembrance of St. Philip is very appropriate - a strong intercessor.

I agree, Nadezhda, the day of remembrance of St. Philip is indeed very opportune - he always stood for the truth, even when it was difficult. In Kineshma, many people remember how Bishop Hilarion came to his throne last year in our small church on the outskirts, so his 55th anniversary with such a cathedral of priests is truly warm. Have you been to the liturgy yourself?

Yes, Nadezhda, St. Philip’s day is indeed very appropriate - he was not afraid to speak the truth to his face. Just that day I was harvesting cucumbers in my garden, and in the evening I stopped by the church, so I was glad to hear about such a meeting of priests. Were you in the service yourself?

Василий Комаров

Yes, Nadezhda, the day of St. Philip really coincided successfully. The Lord always serves calmly and focusedly, without unnecessary words. Were you in the cathedral that day or did you watch it via the link on the diocese website?
