The holy relic of Saint Spyridon departed from Saint Petersburgtranslated

Yesterday, Monday, August 31, the right hand of Saint Spyridon departed from Saint Petersburg. Before the departure, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Saint Petersburg and Ladoga Mr. Varsanoufios prayed and spoke to the faithful people about the Saint. "Being a great miracle worker and Bishop, he remained a simple worker until the end of his life - a shepherd and a farmer. The Saint continued to graze sheep and cultivate the land, thus setting an example of humility and simplicity. In his earthly life, he always tried to help people," said the Metropolitan.

At another point in his speech he referred to the impressive number of believers who came to worship and receive the grace and blessing of the Saint.

"These days, thousands of people have worshiped the saint at his right, in St. Petersburg - 130,000 people. The saint of God unites the entire Christian world, and especially the Orthodox world," he emphasized.
