At 8.00 on August 1 Metropolitan John of Belgorod and Stary Oskol will serve a Divine Liturgy at the Church of Sts. Faith, Hope, Love (Charity) and their Mother Sophia with deans of the Belgorod Diocese concelebrating.

At 10.30 on that day a procession of the cross to the monument to the Holy Prince Vladimir will begin.

At 11.00 Metropolitan John of Belgorod and Stary Oskol will perform a prayer service at the monument of the Holy Prince Vladimir of Kiev and will award those who much contributed to the perpetuation of his memory the jubilee Patriarchal medals, “For the 1000th anniversary of repose of Prince Vladimir, Equal-to-the-Apostles”.
