Божественную литургию в честь праздника иконы Казанской Божией Матери провёл епископ Леонтий
The Divine Liturgy in honor of the Great Orthodox Feast of the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan was performed by Bishop Leonty of Voronezh and Liski, head of the Voronezh Metropolitanate. As the editorial office reported to "Narodny Korrespondent", many people attended the service.
On the eve of the great holiday, His Majesty celebrated the all-night vigil at the Alekseyevo-Akatovsky Monastery. Then Bishop Leonty blessed the bread and anointed the clergy and parishioners with blessed oil.
Today, November 4, Bishop Leonty addressed the residents of the Voronezh region and congratulated them not only on the feast day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, but also on National Unity Day.
The Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is a miraculous icon of the Mother of God revered by Orthodox Christians, which appeared in Kazan in 1579. On the site of the appearance of the holy image, a women's monastery of the Mother of God was built by order of Ivan the Terrible.
Let me remind you that the first service took place in the Annunciation Cathedral on November 1.
