On Tuesday February 13, 2013  Holy Trinity Seminary celebrated the Feast of the Holy Three Hierarchs. His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion led the services. We had the special blessing to have also the Kursk Root Icon for Vigil and the Divine Liturgy which brought by the Rev. Priest Nikolai Olhovski. Some of the service was sung in Greek for vigil by the seminary choir being part of a tradition established by Archbishop Averky. Before the Divine Liturgy the seminarians reader Peter Markevich was made a subdeacon and John Martin was tonsured a reader. In the afternoon a reception was held in the Seminary Hall where Metropolitan  Hilarion spoke about the Holy Three Hierarchs, their life and how it serves as an example for the seminarians to follow. Following the Metropolitan's talk Protopresbyter George Dragas gave a talk explaining the theological significance of the dismissal hymn of the Saints.  Archpriest Vladimir Tsurikov then announced various scholarships that were award to seminarians. Archimandrite Luke greeted everyone on the Feast and thanked all who made it possible to celebrate the Feast of the Three Hierarchs in a worthy manner.
