On the evening of December 27, 2025, on the eve of the 29th Sunday after Pentecost, of the holy Forefathers, His Grace Bishop Matthew of Sourozh, celebrated the all-night vigil at Dormition Cathedral in London.
His Grace was assisted by Archpriest Vitaly Polishchuk, Dean of the Diocesan District of South East England; Archpriest Dimitry Nedostupenko, Secretary of the Diocese of Sourozh; and Protodeacon Vadim Santsevitch.
The Cathedral Choir, under the direction of Dmitry Tugarinov, performed the liturgical hymns.
During the polyeleos, a reliquary containing great Christian relics—a particle of the Life-giving Cross of the Lord, the Belt of the Most Holy Theotokos, and particles of the holy relics of God's chosen saints—was brought from the altar to the center of the church.
At Matins, after the Gospel reading, Bishop Matthew anointed the clergy and worshippers with holy oil.
