Archbishop Sava celebrated the Divine Liturgy and diaconal ordination in the cathedraltranslated

August 5, 2026 · 1 min read

On August 5, the day of the festival in honor of the Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God and the memory of the holy righteous warrior Theodore Ushakov, His Eminence Archbishop Savva of Tiraspol and Dubossary celebrated the Divine Liturgy in the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ. Concelebrating with the Most Reverend Bishop was the dean of the Bendery district, Archpriest Mikhail Lungu, the clergyman and clergy of the cathedral, and the clergy of the Bendery deanery. Numerous parishioners prayed during the service, who came to honor the Most Holy Theotokos on the day of the glorification of Her Pochaev Icon, and also to ask for the prayerful intercession of the holy righteous warrior Theodore Ushakov. During the Divine Liturgy, the deacon's ordination was performed. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, through the ordination of bishops, the Holy Church acquired a new clergyman, called to serve at the Throne of God, participating in divine services, promoting the preaching of the Gospel and the work of church care for believers. At the end of the Liturgy, glorification was performed in front of the copy of the Pochaev Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos and the honest image of the righteous warrior Theodore Ushakov with a particle of his holy relics,...

Gracias por la noticia. Me llamó la atención que la hirotonía fuera precisamente el día de san Teodoro Ushakov, un santo militar tan fuerte. Ojalá el nuevo diácono tenga esa misma constancia en el servicio al altar.

Ja, der heilige Theodor Ušakov passt wirklich gut zu einer Diakonatsweihe. Ein Mann, der im Leben hart und treu gedient hat, ohne sich zu verbiegen. Hoffentlich bringt der neue Diakon dieselbe ruhige Ausdauer mit, besonders wenn der Alltag in der Gemeinde mal anstrengend wird. Danke für den Bericht.

M-am bucurat să văd că hirotonia diaconului a avut loc tocmai de ziua Sf. Teodor Ușakov. E un sfânt care a slujit cu credință și răbdare în mijlocul greutăților, exact ce ne trebuie și nouă la altar. Să-l ajute Domnul pe noul diacon să țină cu aceeași statornicie, mai ales când vine oboseala de zi cu zi în parohie.

Sí, yo también me fijé en eso. San Teodoro Ushakov era un hombre de mucha disciplina y lealtad, justo lo que hace falta para servir bien en el altar. Ojalá el nuevo diácono tenga esa misma fuerza de carácter, como dices. ¿Tú lo conoces de alguna parroquia de por aquí?

Sí, la disciplina de San Teodoro era legendaria, sobre todo en cómo organizaba todo sin perder la calma. No conozco personalmente al nuevo diácono, pero lo vi un par de veces ayudando en la panadería parroquial de Bender el año pasado. ¿Tú has coincidido con él en alguna misa por aquí?

Sí, la lealtad de San Teodoro Ushakov era de las que no se ven todos los días, sobre todo en tiempos difíciles. Al nuevo diácono lo vi una vez sirviendo en la misa de la catedral hace unos meses, parecía serio y atento. ¿Tú vas mucho por Bender o más por la catedral?

Mă bucur și eu că ați observat legătura asta cu Sf. Teodor Ușakov. La noi în parohie, când vine oboseala după slujbe lungi, ne amintim cum el a ținut marinarii uniți și cu rugăciunea în timp de război. Să-l ajute Dumnezeu pe noul diacon să nu se lase doborât de treburile zilnice de la altar.
