Peste 7 mii de credincioși au fost la slujba de hram a Sucevei

Seven thousand believers participated in the bishop's liturgy on June 24, a figure similar to last year and approaching those of the past, from the years before the pandemic. It was a liturgy at which no less than nine hierarchs of the Romanian Orthodox Church officiated, one of whom is a metropolitan - His Eminence Father Ioan, Archbishop of Timișoara and Metropolitan of Banat. It was a religious ceremony at which the believers stayed from the early hours of the morning, the liturgy being celebrated from 08:00 until after 11:00. And after the actual liturgy ended, a solemn moment followed during which several archiepiscopal distinctions were awarded to personalities who stood out and who, in the opinion of His Eminence Father Calinic, Archbishop of Suceava and Rădăuți, deserved this honor.
