Several members of our community joined the larger group of pilgrims from London, lead by Archbishop Elisey, on the 19th June to venerate the Relics of the First Martyr of Britain Saint Alban. The relics are not usually very accessible so this was a great event. We sang a Moleben and canon to the saint and then venerated his Relics. In the evening of the same day we also venerated the Sacred Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God (the Guardian of the Russian Church Abroad) which was visiting our Cathedral in Ennismore Gardens.
