With the blessing of His Grace Bishop Matthew of Sourozh, the divine service was celebrated by Priest Anatoly Vikhrov, Rector of the parishes of Saint  Ksenia of St. Petersburg (Leeds) and of the Meeting of the Lord (Bradford).  After a five-month break, Orthodox residents of York and its environs were able to take part in the Divine Liturgy, to confess and receive the Holy Mysteries of Christ.
