Date: November 13, 2010 – November 14, 2010
The relics of the Seminary’s patron saint, Holy Great Prince Vladimir, Equal-to-the-Apostles, who converted to Christianity in AD 988 and who proceeded to baptize all of Kievan Rus’, will be in our Three Hierarchs Chapel for public veneration from Saturday, November 13 through Sunday, November 14. This will be the only such opportunity in the United States for Orthodox Christian faithful to venerate the relics, since St. Vladimir’s Seminary is the only location in the country that will be privileged to receive them.
Chancellor and CEO of the Seminary, Archpriest Chad Hatfield, expressed his joy in anticipation of upcoming weekend. “We are deeply honored to receive these relics of the patron saint of our school. During this extraordinary occasion, we anticipate welcoming thousands of pilgrims to our campus.”
We will update our Website regarding the details and schedule of services for this noteworthy event as we draw closer to this special weekend in November.
