Divine Liturgy celebrated in Tehran on commemoration day of St. Mary of Egypt
DECR Communication Service, 29/03/2026
On 29th March 2026, 5th Sunday of Lent, commemoration day of the Venerable Mary of Egypt, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated in St. Nicholas Cathedral in Tehran, Iran, by a cleric of the church, Hegumen Varlaam (Dulsky).
In view of the ongoing shelling of Iran’s capital, not many worshippers attended the service, but all those who came partook of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. After the Liturgy, Father Varlaam delivered a sermon on that Sunday’s Gospel reading.
