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.
