Moscow, February 27, Interfax - Relics of St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, are to visit parishes of the Russian Church in the U.S.A. and Canada, Chairman of the trustees boards of the Russian National Glory Center and the St. Andrew the First Called Foundation Vladimir Yakunin said on Wednesday.
“Today, we together plan to bring St. Tikhon’s relics this time from Russia to America,” Yakunin said addressing the ROCOR first hierarch Metropolitan Laurus in the Pokrovsky Cathedral of Sts. Martha and Maria Convent when the latter was decorated with the order of international Saint Andrew’s prize For Faith and Faithfulness.
St. Tikhon’s relics will be brought to the U.S.A. and Canada in autumn for Orthodox flock abroad to venerate. Earlier Metropolitan Laurus addressed such request to Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia and the Foundation’s administration.
Speaking at a briefing in Sts. Martha and Maria Convent, Metropolitan Vladimir of Tashkent and Middle Asia confirmed that Alexy II blessed to bring the shrine to the parishes abroad. The Metropolitan reminded that last autumn the foundation brought relics of St. Alexander of Neva to the parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church connected with the saint’s life and deeds.
St. Tikhon was canonized at the Bishop’s Council of the Russian Orthodox Church on October 9, 1989. His relics are in the Grand cathedral of Moscow Donskoy Monastery.
