This autumn, the United States of America will welcome the relics of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and of the Holy Prince Constantine Brâncoveanu for a two-week trip starting on September 26.

From Chicago to Hayward via Sacramento, Seattle and Upland, the Saints will be meeting Romanian faithful in their parishes.

The relics will be brought from Romania by Fr. Emil-Nedelea Cărămizaru, parish priest at Bucharest’s New St George Church. The tour was blessed by Patriarch Daniel and Metropolitan Nicolae of the Americas.

The visit will begin in Chicago at the Holy Emperors Romanian Orthodox Cathedral on Monday, September 26.

The relics will reach the Resurrection of the Lord Parish in Sacramento, CA, on October 2.

Next, the relics will be welcomed at Sts Joachim and Anne Parish in Seattle on October 4, and at the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Parish in Upland, CA, on October 6-7.

The tour will end at the Ascension of the Lord Parish in Hayward, CA, on October 8.

The liturgical program will be published on the websites of the host parishes.

Romanians in the diaspora have more and more events of this kind. Last year, the relics of Saints Nicholas and Constantine Brâncoveanu toured Germany; this year, they reached Austria.

 

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
