Orthodox Lenten Great Vespers in Westminster Cathedral


The picture shows a more recent event in Westminster Cathedral arranged by the diocese and the Society in 2002: Lenten Orthodox Great Vespers, celebrated by Bishop Basil (Osborne) of Sergievo of the Russian Orthodox Diocese of Sourozh in the UK, in the presence of HE Cormac Cardinal Murphy O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster and his fellow Latin Catholic Bishops, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Bishop, His Eminence Archbishop Gregorios of Thyateira and Great Britain, the Syriac Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Bishops in London and other hierarchs, clergy and faithful of the Eastern Churches, with many Latin Catholic and other Western Christians too.

The choir of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in Mayfair sang the Vespers and the service was attended by almost 1,500 people.

After Vespers, the Society hosted a reception for the distinguished clergy and visitors, and the Choir.
