On the second day of August 2019, when the Holy Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Prophet Elijah, St. Elijah’s festivities were traditionally held at the Ilinka Street in Moscow.

The celebration started with the triumphant Divine Liturgy in  the church of Prophet Elijah, served by Bishops Theophilact of Dmitrov and John of Slavonia and a number of clergy. After the Liturgy, a solemn procession went from this church towards the Red Square and a prayer service – moleban to the Holy Prophet Elijah was served at the so-called Lobno Place.
