Washington, DC, October 6, 2014
Cathedral rector Archpriest Victor Potapov invites the faithful of all of the parishes in the Eastern American Diocese to join the pilgrimage and come together in prayerful commemoration of the martyred Br. Jose. This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the beginning of the miraculous streaming of myrrh from the "Montreal" Iveron Icon of the Mother of God, and the 17th anniversary of Br. Jose’s martyric death. His Eminence Hilarion, Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York, will lead the divine services at the monastery; the myrrh-streaming "Hawaiian" Iveron Icon of the Mother of God will be present, as well.
