Hartford, CT: The Kursk Root Icon visited St. Panteleimon's Church

On Thursday, December 16, the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God visited St. Panteleimon's Church in Hartford, CT. The parishioners, led by rector Priest Dionysy Nalitov, triumphally greeted the wonder-working icon to the peal of bells. Diocesan secretary Archpriest Serge Lukianov celebrated the Divine Liturgy, co-served by the rector. The marvelous singing of the parish choir, under the direction of N.A. Semyanko, facilitated the prayerful mood of all those present.

At the end of the Liturgy, Fr. Serge presented Fr. Dionysy a copy of the Kursk Icon with a commemorative plaque on behalf of the First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad, in memory of the wonder-working icon’s visit to Hartford. A lenten luncheon was then offered in the parish hall.
