Православная церковь отмечает день святых апостолов Петра и Павла 12 июля. Главный русский православный храм в Сиднее, носящий имя первоверховных апостолов, отмечал в этот день свой престольный праздник.

Несмотря на рабочий день, в собор, расположенный на тихой улочке недалеко от станции Стратфилд, на службу пришло более четырехсот человек. Всех, подходящих к храму, встречает красивая мозаичная икона, установленная над главным входом. Над этой мозаикой целый год работали в Свято-Преображенском монастыре в Бомбала. В центре ее изображен Иисус Христос, вручающий покровителями храма — апостолам Петру и Павлу — венец и меч. Приходской совет прилагает немало усилий для обновления храма, где появились новые иконы. Не так давно был проведен ремонт прицерковного зала. В планах приходского совета — внутренняя роспись храма. В следующем году сиднейский Петропавловский собор будет отмечать 60 лет со дня своего основания.Continue Reading

Saint Innokenty lived during the reign of Tsar Peter I and became the first bishop of the Diocese of Irkutsk. He taught reading and writing to the local Buryat children, painted icons, built chapels and churches, prayed and preached.

As Priest Alexander Abiduev of Holy Trinity Church in Ulan-Ude, Russia, explained, “After a fire in the church of Voznesensky Monastery, where he was buried, though the church was burned to the ground, his relics were unharmed and discovered to be incorrupt. When he was to be re-interred, it was found that even his vestments survived. The local believers began to notice miraculous healings and miracles occurring from his relics.  When people saw this, they started to pray to the saint, and many of their pleas were answered. With time, this led to the decision to canonize him and count him among the saints.”Continue Reading
