On the eve of Sunday and in memory of the prophet of God Elijah, Bishop Methodius held an all-night vigil at the Kazan Mother of God Monastery.
On the evening of August 1, on the eve of the 9th Sunday after Pentecost, the day of the memory of the prophet of God Elijah, Bishop Methodius of Almetyevsk and Bugulma conducted an all-night vigil at the Cathedral Church of the Kazan Mother of God Monastery in the city of Bugulma.
The prophet Elijah is one of the most revered saints of the Old Testament. He is the first biblical saint to whom prayers began to be offered in Russia. For his fervent love for God, he was taken up to heaven alive in a fiery chariot. The prophet Elisha was a witness to this miraculous ascension. Then, at the Transfiguration of the Lord, he appeared together with the prophet Moses and stood before Jesus Christ, conversing with Him on Mount Tabor. According to the tradition of the Holy Church, the prophet Elijah will be the Forerunner of the Terrible Second Coming of Christ to earth.
After the reading of the Gospel, the anointing of the faithful with holy oil took place.
At the end of the service, the Bishop addressed the faithful with an archpastoral word and imparted a blessing.
