Patronal feast celebrated at the Church of the Archangel Michael in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
On the day of the celebration of the Synaxis of the Archangel Michael and the other Bodiless Powers, the patronal feast was prayerfully celebrated in the Church of the Archangel Michael in Kuala Lumpur. The Divine Liturgy was officiated by Bishop Pitirim of Jakarta, Vicar of the Diocese of Singapore. On the eve, the All-Night Vigil was held.
His Eminence was co-served by: Hegumen Pavel (Khokhlov), rector of the Church of the Archangel Michael in Kuala Lumpur and cleric of the church, Priest Seraphim Choy; Priest Evgeny Shmelev, cleric of the Church of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos in Singapore; Priest Evgeny Tsukalo, Rector of the Vietnamese Deanery of the Parishes of the Philippine-Vietnamese Diocese.
On this festive day, the parish also received guests from the neighboring Singapore – parishioners of the Church of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. The tradition of joint prayer exists between the parishes for a long time, but during the pandemic, such trips became impossible. Therefore, the feast became in many ways special for the believers of the two parishes because it was not possible to gather for the service for about two years. All those present continued friendly communication after the Liturgy at a festive meal.
