On Monday, September 2, over one hundred pilgrims arrived at the hillside desert monastery of St. Herman of Alaska, co-founded by Fr. Seraphim (Rose). All wished to prayerfully commemorate the day of Fr. Seraphim’s repose in the Lord. Serving the Liturgy were Hieormonk Paisii of St. Herman Monastery, Priests Gregory Schultz, and Nectarios Rozadilla, and Deacon Benjamin.
Fr. Seraphim (Rose) was a missionary monk, a scholar and spiritual writer whose works live on today as classics bringing countless heterodox to the Orthodox Christianity, and many Orthodox to a greater understanding of their faith.
We thank the monastery brothers for sending us this brief photo report of the event.
