The beginning of this video was taken during the evening vigil and you can see Archbishop Kyrill and Bishop Theodosy anointing the people after they venerate the relics of St. John. Also, during the same vigil, there is a shot of the altar area with the new altar recently arrived from Russia.

The next clip was taken early before the start of the liturgy Saturday morning while the church was nearly empty. From this we move to the end of the liturgy, with Archbishop Kyrill at the altar. You can see some of the clergy who concelebrated at the liturgy. Then we moved into the church after the liturgy for the molieben for St. John.

The final transition is to the dismissal after the molieben; the choir and then the clergy joining, singing Many Years, and the hierarchs giving the blessing with the cross.

On July 3-4 solemn services were held at the Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco to mark the 15th anniversary of the glorification of St. John, the Wonderworker of Shanghai and San Francisco. Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco and Western America and Bishop Theodosy of Seattle headed the celebration. They were joined by clergymen from many dioceses of the Russian Church, as well as representatives of Local Orthodox Churches: the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church in America.
