On June 30, in the Cathedral of St. Demetrius in Bitola, North Macedonia, Nun-Martyr Stephanida of Bitola and Skadar was glorified among the saints during Divine Liturgy.
People arrived from all over American and abroad to participate in the services and bask in the grace of their beloved saint.
In honor of the thirtieth anniversary of his glorification by the Church Abroad, the Feast of St John the Wonderworker this year was marked with special solemnity at Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco, where the saint’s incorruptible relics lie enshrined.
The church is scheduled to be completed in about a year from now.
Employees of the National Agency and local clergy are assessing the extent of the damage.
