Southfield/Detroit, Michigan
March 12, 2005

On Saturday, March 12, 2005, Saint George Cathedral in Southfield/Detroit was blessed to receive a relic of its patron, Saint George the Great-martyr and Trophy-bearer.  At the conclusion of Great Vespers that evening, V Rev Fr Laurence Lazar, Dean of the Cathedral, bearing the reliquary, led the clergy and faithful in procession around the Cathedral church as they sang the tropar to Saint George.
The relics were placed in the middle of the church for veneration before being returned to the Holy Altar.
Rev Dn Sabin Pop assists a young visitor to venerate the relic.

The Cathedral AROY Chapter was hosting the annual AROY Spring Sports Tournament that same weekend.  Therefore, young people visiting from several states were also blessed to witness this special event.
