Thank God that the relics were finally brought to us in St. Petersburg. I remember how in the nineties my father and I went to Greece and stood at his relics in Patras. I wonder in which church you can now venerate them?

God bless. In Svidnik, too, they once brought a piece of Andrei’s relics; people stood in line until late in the evening. Svetlana, did you write in which church they will be displayed? I'd like to know so I can plan my trip if possible.

Thank God we really got there. I was also in Patras in 2005, there were relics in a special reliquary under glass, and there was a small queue. And in St. Petersburg, it seems, they were first brought to St. Isaac’s, then they will be taken to other churches - check on the metropolitan website, the schedule has already been posted there.

It was nice in Svidník, I remember how a lady from the parish told us about it. In St. Petersburg, they will be exhibited in the Kazan Cathedral, at least that's what they say in the report. Are you planning to go there by car or rather by train?
