The Divine Liturgy was celebrated at this chapel on January 1/14, 2018, by Priest Nikolaos, while the choir was formed by Archimandrites Alexios and Demetrios. The Service was attended by nuns and members of the Greek Community of Jerusalem.

During the Divine Liturgy H.H.B. our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos came for veneration with Hagiotaphite Fathers. The Patriarchal, and Priestly entourage and the congregation were offered a reception at the court yard and the hegoumeneion by the good keeper of the Monastery Reverend Nun Thecla.
