Divine Liturgy in the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezhtranslated

October 4, 2026 · 1 min read

On Sunday, October 4, Metropolitan Theodosius of Samara and Novokuybyshevsk led the liturgy in the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in Samara. His Eminence was served by the clergy of the church and the clergy of the metropolis. Construction of the Church in Honor of St. Sergius of Radonezh, located on Cheremshanskaya Street, began in 2008, and the first liturgy was celebrated in 2011. There is a large children's center at the church, which hosts large-scale events for children from all over the region several times a year. Today is the celebration of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, and the church also honors the discovery of the relics of Demetrius, Metropolitan of Rostov. Arriving at the Rostov See in 1702, Saint Demetrius immediately chose the Conception Cathedral of the St. James Monastery as his future resting place. Despite the requests of the townspeople to bury the bishop in the city cathedral, his friend, Metropolitan Stefan Yavorsky, insisted that the will of the deceased be carried out.

Due to the haste in preparing the grave, the body was placed in a simple wooden frame, which, according to God's providence, contributed to the amazing preservation of the remains. Decades later, in 1752, during the renovation of the church, the incorrupt relics of the saint were discovered. Despite the dampness...

Dobrze, że ten dziecięcy ośrodek przy parafii działa tak prężnie, moje wnuczki z Gdańska też lubiły podobne spotkania. A o tym, jak mości Dymitra pochowali w zwykłym drewnianym sрубie i moce się zachowały – to ciekawa historia, o której nie wiedziałam. Dziękuję za przypomnienie.

Καλά που λειτουργεί τόσο ενεργά αυτό το παιδικό κέντρο δίπλα στον ναό. Θυμάμαι πέρσι που πήγαμε με την παρέα μου σε μια παρόμοια εκδήλωση στη Λευκωσία και τα παιδιά ενθουσιάστηκαν. Η ιστορία με τον άγιο Δημήτριο και το απλό ξύλινο φέρετρο που διατήρησε τα λείψανα είναι εντυπωσιακή, δεν την ήξερα.

Ναι, το παιδικό κέντρο αυτό δίνει ζωή σε όλη την περιοχή, τα παιδιά μας από το Ηράκλειο θα το ζήλευαν. Η ιστορία με τον άγιο Δημήτριο και το ξύλινο σεντούκι που κράτησε τα λείψανα τόσα χρόνια είναι πράγματι εντυπωσιακή, θυμίζει πόσο απλά πράγματα χρησιμοποιεί ο Θεός. Εσύ πήγες με την παρέα σου στη Λευκωσία, πες μας, τι ακριβώς έκαναν τα παιδιά εκεί που τα ενθουσίασε τόσο;

Bun lucru că acel centru pentru copii de la biserică organizează atâtea întâlniri. Și povestea cu moaștele sfântului Dimitrie, puse în grabă într-un sicriu simplu de lemn și rămase întregi atâția ani, m-a pus pe gânduri – chiar așa lucrează Dumnezeu, cu lucruri obișnuite. Mulțumesc pentru articol.

Ναι, το ξύλινο σεντούκι είναι από τα πράγματα που μένουν στο μυαλό. Εδώ στο Ηράκλειο το δικό μας παιδικό κέντρο διοργανώνει κάθε χρόνο κάτι παρόμοιο με ψωμί που φτιάχνουμε μαζί με τα παιδιά μετά τη λειτουργία. Πήγες μόνο εσύ με την παρέα ή πήρε και το παιδί σου μαζί;

Хорошо, что детский центр при храме такой активный, у нас в Новосибирске тоже после службы дети собираются на поделки. А история с деревянным срубом святителя Димитрия и правда запоминается — простая вещь, а мощи сохранились. Спасибо, что напомнили.
