Pilgrimage 2008

Over one hundred pilgrims gathered on Vashon Island, a twenty minute ferry ride from Seattle, Washington, for the annual Monastery Pilgrimage of All-Merciful Saviour Russian Orthodox Monastery. The monks were commemorating twenty years since the establishment of their monastery on Vashon Island, and the near completion of the monastery’s building project. The monks were able to raise their new onion dome atop the monastery church, dedicated to the Protection of the Holy Theotokos, one week earlier.

With the completion of the trapeza, kitchen, public restrooms, library, four new monastic cells, new plaza with fountain, and the near completion of the bookstore/office building, the monastic brotherhood offered thanks to all their supporters, and to God for His merciful kindness and the many blessings bestowed upon the monastery.

It was in August of 1988 that the monks moved to the island, and twenty-two years ago (1986) that they first celebrated August 1st, Old Style, as the Patronal Feast of the Brotherhood. Hieromonk Tryphon is superior of the monastery, which now numbers five brethren.

Iconostasis Installed

The holy brotherhood rejoices in the installation of our new iconostasis, being crafted by our dear friend, Doctor Bob Fouty. The photo shows the preliminary construction, with much more to come. When completed, the iconostasis will have beautiful new icons, serpentine columns on either side of the Royal Doors, and new, hand crafted Royal and Deacon doors. We’ll keep you posted with new photos as the progress continues.
