Mebane, NC: The Kursk Root Icon visited Holy Trinity Church

On Wednesday, December 23, the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God visited Holy Trinity Church in Mebane, NC. The community of Holy Trinity Church was founded in 1991, and has for many years lacked a church building. By God's mercy, the parishioners were able to obtain land and an old furniture factory, which is currently undergoing major renovations to convert it to a beautiful Orthodox church. As with each parish in the South, the church was filled with worshipers, who had come to praise the Heavenly Queen in Her wonder-working Kursk Root Icon. The moleben with akathist was served by diocesan secretary Archpriest Serge Lukianov, co-served by Priest Christopher Foley (rector of Holy Cross Church in Greensboro, NC - OCA). Upon completion of the service, a copy of the Kursk Root Icon - a blessing from Metropolitan Hilarion, was presented to the warden.  The icon then departed for All Saints of North America Church in Middlebrook, VA.
