Divine Liturgy was celebrated in Dundee on the Holy Saturday

First Liturgy in the histiry of the city in Scotland was celebrated by a Russian orthodox priest. Blessed by Elisey the Bishop of Sourozh, archpriest Michael Dudko, who serves the parish in the name of St. Kentigern in Glasgow, celebrated the liturgy.

Orthodox beleivers, who live in Dundee and its vicinity, gathered at the service. The church choir, conducted by deacon Michael Rozhkov, came from Glasgow. The rector of the Saint Salvador Church, where the service was allowed to take place, estimated that about 30 people were present. After the Liturgy, during which many made confessions and took Holy Communion, those who brought their Easter eggs and cakes could have them blessed.

New parishioners have not yet formed a community, but should this happen there will be an opportunity to have regular services here in the future.
