EPISCOPAL DIVINE LITURGY IN BEER SHEVA FOR THE FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION

With the occasion of the Feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord, when all the Prophets and the Righteous of the Old Testament through the Prophets Moses and Elijah the Thesbite confess our Lord Jesus Christ as the Light-giver Lord of Glory, the Russian-speaking parish of the Righteous Patriarch Abraham in Beer Sheva celebrated this feast on Saturday 8/21 August. The Episcopal Divine Liturgy was officiated by His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Qatar, with the co-celebration of the ministering Priest of Beer Sheva Father Alexander Yasevitch, while the Hegoumen, His Eminence Archbishop Aristovoulos of Madaba led the parish members as a solid choir, chanting in Greek and Slavonic.

After the Divine Liturgy there was a reception where His Eminence Makarios addressed the faithful in admonishing words encouraging them to remain steadfast in the Orthodox Faith, and refrain from bad doctrines and tales of fallacy which flood the internet and confuse the common people.
