Patriarche's meeting in Valaam - Valaam

Patriarche's meeting in Valaam

Patriarche's meeting

The Holy Patriach Alexiy II visited the Valaam cloister. He consecrated the newly built shrine over the relics of the Saints Sergiy and Herman in repose under the earth, as well as the iconostasis of the lower cathedral church.

At that moment two sketes worked in the cloister : namely the skete of All Saints, and of St Nicholas. The lives of the sketes of John the Baptist and Gethsemane were soon after themselves resumed.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
