The reading of the Holy Gospel before the relics of St. Herman
After all the faithful have venerated the Holy Relics, His Grace closes the reliquary.

St. Innocent Academy just returned from a trip to the Lower 48. They raced up to the Church hoping to be able to venerate the relics but arrived after Vigil was already over. They were understandably disappointed, but Vladyka graciously opened the reliquary so they could venerate the Holy Relics. They did so joyfully, singing beautiful hymns in honor of St. Herman of Alaska
