The Sisterhood of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Montreal

The Week of the Myrrh-bearing Women is the holiday of parish sisterhoods. On this day, many parish sisterhoods in the Russian diaspora mark the day of their heavenly protectresses.

The First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, His Eminence Metropolitan Laurus, celebrated divine liturgy on this day in Entrance into the Temple of the Holy Virgin Church in Jamesville (Syracuse), NY, where the parish sisterhood annually celebrates their holiday.

In Montreal, Canada, after liturgy, a service of supplication was performed by Priests George Lagodich and Michael Metni, followed by a holiday trapeze feast.
