Atlanta, GA: A Large Collection of Relics visited Joy of All Who Sorrow Church

On Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th of June, parishioners of the Church of our Lady, "Joy of All Who Sorrow," in Atlanta, GA, had a unique opportunity to venerate a great number of holy relics, brought to the parish by Mother Andrea and Mother Theodora of St. Nicholas Monastery in North Fort Myers, FL.

Many of the faithful attended the vespers service and moleben on Tuesday evening, and the Divine Liturgy on Wednesday morning, celebrated by parish rector Priest Eugene Antonov. Among those in church were many believers from neighboring parishes, especially from the parish of the Saints Raphael, Nicholas & Irene Greek Church in Atlanta (http://stsrni.org). The rector of that parish, Priest Barnabas Powell, prayed in the altar.
