I might go this year, October 7 falls on a Saturday, it fits well with my hospital schedule. The last time I was in Никандрова пустынь was in 2019, the birch trees around the spring were magnificent. Do they plan the complete liturgy with the procession to the tomb of the saint?

I might join you, Thomas. October 7 being a Saturday works with my nursing shifts too. Last time I was at the monastery the birch trees by the spring were stunning, just like you said. Does anyone know if they’ll have the full Liturgy with the saint’s relics venerated after?
