Date29-05-2023
On Friday, May 26, 2023, His Grace Bishop Matthew of Sourozh visited the Cathedral of the Holy Great Martyr Barbara in Edmonton, Alberta.
The Archpastor served a moleben in front of the main shrine of the Cathedral - part of the relics of the Great Martyr Barbara (+306).
A particle of the left foot of Saint Barbara was taken out of Russia by the Archbishop Panteleimon (Rudyk) of the Autonomous Orthodox Church in Ukraine and, after his return from the Russian Church Abroad to the Moscow Patriarchate, was donated by him to the Cathedral of the Holy Great Martyr Barbara in Edmonton on the day of its consecration in 1960.
After communicating with the Rector of the church, Archpriest Igor Kisil, His Grace Vladyka and his personal secretary N.V. Trubnikov left from the Edmonton airport to Ottawa, capital of Canada.
