On the eve of the Feast of the Entry Into The Temple of Mary Mother
of God, at the St. John Convent in Egorovka (Odessa Diocese of the
ROCOR), Ukraine, visited, His Grace Nikon, Bishop of Ishim and
Siberia. His Eminence served the public worship, Vespers and Divine Liturgy, in the priestly rank. The two choirs sang, helping the worship. It was a joy to pray on this holiday, together with the bishop and we felt prayerful, especially with the monastic atmosphere that was in the temple. After the Vigil, Mother Abbess Alexandra dressed in a cassock/podrasnik and a cover (shawl with the corners) the recently arrived at the monastery, a sister from Canada - novice Anna Sauer.
During the Divine Liturgy almost all nuns and parishioners were partakers of Holy Communion. His Eminence gave his spoken word, on the occasion of the sermon.
After the Liturgy, Bishop Nikon and the sisters, with a triumphant spirit, (carrying in front, the main icon of the festal celebration and with singing) proceeded into the monastery refectory for a festive dinner. Then, with the ringing of the bells, the sisters accompanied His Grace to the monastery gates, and then Bishop Nikon departed from the monastery.
