South Canaan, PA—The Brotherhood of the Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk Monastery have announced the full schedule for their 121st annual pilgrimage. Coinciding with the pilgrimage will be a visitation by the Myrrh-streaming Hawaiian Iveron Icon of the Mother of God.

Friday, May 23, 2025, the pilgrimage will commence with the official opening and greeting of the Hawaiian Iveron Icon, with a Moleiben, Vespers & Matins in the Monastery Church. 

In addition to a number of edifying events — previously reported by UOJ-America — each morning will begin with the celebration of the Hierarchical Liturgy. The lineup of events, the commemoration of the centenary of St. Tikhon's repose, and the presence of the Mother of God in her myrrh-streaming, wonder-working Hawaiian Icon make this year's pilgrimage truly unique.
