New Martyr Kyra
(Obolenskaya) of St. Petersburg |
 |
As
many of you know, our parish was the first Orthodox
Church to perform the service in honor of New Russian
Martyr St. Kyra of St. Petersburg. St. Kyra was the
aunt of our parishioner George Obolensky and was
martyred by the NKVD in Soviet Russia.
This year, her commemoration fell on a Sunday so
Vigil was served in her honor followed by Liturgy at
the usual time on Sunday morning. You may view the
photos of the first service to St. Kyra in our Church in
Asheville by clicking
