On November 25–26, 2023, parishioners of St. Nicholas Cathedral made a pilgrimage to Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. The monastery warmly welcomed its guests. A cozy guesthouse, a delicious monastery lunch, and then prayer at the All-Night Vigil led by the abbot of the monastery, Bishop Luke of Syracuse. The next day an equally rich program awaited the pilgrims. After the Divine Liturgy, the monastery guide told them about the history of the monastery and its famous monks and led everyone who wished through the monastery museum. On the way back, the pilgrims visited a women’s skete, where they were able to buy handmade goods and natural farm products. All the participants were filled with impressions. The pilgrims expressed hope that the tradition of visiting Orthodox holy places together will continue.
