Description

I took these photos today at Saint Tikhon's. The weather wasn't the greatest for shooting photos, but at least it was a lot warmer (almost 60 degrees today) than it has been.

The monastery is also home to a parish church, press, cemetery, museum, and also the seminary.

In IC XC,
Father Anthony+

John Doucette Member Registered: 05/05/07 Posts: 354 Loc: Massachusetts	Slava Isusu Khrystu! Thank you, Father Anthony, for sharing those photographs with us here at the Forum. They really have a good active spiritual life at St. Tikhon's thank heaven. We need holy monasteries and churches and good priests, monks and nuns to remind us of the very real and concrete presence of the Lord in our world! Hopefully you had a pleasant pilgrimage there. Bude eemya Hospodne! John Doucette

Deacon Robert Behrens Jessup B.C. Deacon Member Registered: 03/16/06 Posts: 1329 Loc: Jermyn, Pa.	Father, We must both have been there at the same time. I work for a Bank, and was off because of the holiday. My son and I were at the bookstore yesterday afternoon between 1:30 P.M. and 3:00 P.M. Odd coincidence! In Christ, Dn. Robert

Father Anthony Administrator Member Registered: 02/16/05 Posts: 3404 Loc: New York	John, I believe that some of his relics are inside the church. There is a reliquary with a large relic of his off to the right of the iconostasis. Whether there are any remaining relics in the tomb or not, I am not sure. In IC XC, Father Anthony+ PS, If I get a chance this evening, I may put up a separate post of his reliquary that is located in that church. I know I have at least five photos of it.

Chtec Member Registered: 01/27/02 Posts: 1933 Loc: Sharon/Hermitage, PA	The entire body of St. Alexis Toth (minus, of course, the portions that have been given to other churches) is located inside the monastery church to the right of the iconostas, on the southern kliros. His original tomb is empty and remains locked most of the time. I have seen it used for other, more ordinary purposes; at several Memorial Day pilgrimages, it was used as a room for sound equipment.
