Joyous Feast!

For the holy and great feast of the Entry of the Most Pure Mother of God into the Temple, His Grace, +Bishop ALEXEI served the hierarchical divine services at Saint Tikhon Russian Orthodox Church in South Anchorage. Joined by Father Andrei, at the conclusion of the divine liturgy, Father Andrei presented on behalf of the parish a new set of blue hierarchical vestments for Vladyka. His Grace expressed sincere gratitude and thanks to Father Andrei and the whole parish of Saint Tikhon's who made possible the wonderful gift.

Upon receiving the vestments, Vladyka shared with the parish that the pattern used for the gift was the exact pattern His Grace used as a deacon on holy Mount Athos!
