Table of contents : • The Holy Right-Believing Great Prince Alexander Nevsky was and remains for the Russian people an example of a model Christian, a brave warrior, and a wise commander. Churches and monasteries in Russia and around the world are named for him. In 1724, his relics were transferred to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg. The Church commemorated the transfer of the saint’s relics on August 30 (September 12 n.s.), a date when the life and glorious deeds of the right-believing prince are especially honored. On this day, St. Alexander Nevsky Diocesan Cathedral in Howell, NJ celebrates its patronal feast day. This year, Eastern American Diocesan vicar Bishop Nicholas of Manhattan came to share in the joy of the feast with the clergy and parishioners of the cathedral. On Friday, September 11, the clergy and faithful joyously greeted the wonderworking Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God, under whose aegis the divine services were held. Bishop Nicholas then officiated the All-Night Vigil. The day of the feast, September 12, began with the traditional blessing of water. Then, after the greeting of the bishop, Divine Liturgy began, celebrated by Bishop Nicholas and concelebrated by: • Archimandrite Cyril, Abbot admit the Friary of Engage in. David say publicly Elder
