The visit of bishop Timofey

Christ is Risen! |
In the days of the apodosis of Pascha, the sisters of our monastery were
having a double feast. Metropolitan Timofey of Vostr (the Orthodox Church
of Jerusalem) visited the abode. A long-standing friendship unites us
with bishop Timofey. From the day of the foundation of the monastery, the
Bishop takes a keen interest in its life; he does not forget our abode in
his prayers at the Lord's Tomb. Prayers are also offered up for
metropolitan Timofey in the abode. Our meeting with the Bishop took place
owing to the churchwarden of the monastery Igor Alekseyevich Altushkin, the
president of the Russian Copper Company.
Igor Alekseyevich is at the same time a benefactor of the Jerusalem
Patriarchate.
For his services to the Church he has been awarded seven orders of the
Russian Orthodox Church and two orders of the Cross of the Lord's Tomb
from the Jerusalem Church.
Every arrival of bishop Timofey is a great joy for us. We show him what
is new at our obediences, churches, and the orphanage for the girls. This
time our foster children performed a small concert; they played flute,
piano, and violin. During this visit, the Bishop made us particularly
happy: he served the Liturgy of the feast on May 31st. A hierarchal
service was done for the first time in our skete.
At the orphanage in honor of holy martyr Elizabeth.
At the St. Ignatius skete.
