The Translation of the Holy Relics of our Father Among the Saints Philip, Metropolitan of Moscow.
Today we commemorate the translation of the holy and incorrupt relics of Saint Philip from the Monastery of Solovki, where he was abbot, to the Cathedral of the Dormition in Moscow, his Metropolitan throne. This came to pass in 1652, some eighty years after his martyric death in Tver. (See also Jan. 9 and Oct. 5.)
