Following the liturgical services, parishioners gathered for a community lunch, continuing the festivities in fellowship. The celebration brought together Orthodox Christians to honor St. Peter of Cetinje and strengthen ties within the local community.

The Serbian Orthodox parish, located in Curridabat in the San José area, belongs to the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Buenos Aires and South and Central America. Established around 2018, it is part of the growing Orthodox presence in Costa Rica, where Serbian, Russian, and other Orthodox communities maintain a shared religious life.
