On the evening of February 21, 2026, on the eve of Cheesefare Sunday, the commemoration of Adam's expulsion, His Grace Bishop Matthew of Sourozh celebrated the all-night vigil at Dormition Cathedral in London.
His Grace was assisted by Archpriest Dimitry Nedostupenko, Secretary of the Diocese of Sourozh; Priest Alexander Kapustin; Protodeacon Vadim Santsevitch; and Protodeacon Ioann Sylnik.
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 reading of the Gospel, the Right Reverend Archpastor anointed the clergy and worshippers with holy oil.
