On July 11, the day of the festival in honor of the icon of the Mother of God, called the “Three-Handed One,” His Eminence Archbishop Savva of Tiraspol and Dubossary celebrated the Divine Liturgy in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Tiraspol.

During the Divine Liturgy, many parishioners prayed, who came to glorify the Most Holy Theotokos and offer prayers before Her honest image. After the dismissal of the Divine Liturgy, glorification was performed in front of the Greek copy of the “Three-Handed” icon of the Mother of God. His Eminence Archbishop Sava offered a prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, asking for Her heavenly protection, strengthening in faith, peace, health and help to all who, with hope, resort to Her maternal intercession.
