For the parishioners of the church of Saint Nicholas in Wallsend (Newcastle), the feast of the Protection of the Mother of God was this year an occasion of greater significance than usual. This is because it was the sixtieth anniversary of the first patronal feast day of the Hunter Valley’s first Russian Orthodox Church, the Holy Protection Church at Greta Migrant Camp.
The Holy Protection Church at Greta functioned from the arrival in Australia in August 1949 of Archpriest John Lupish (+1977) until the closure of the camp some seven years later. It was, during that time, a refuge and a consolation for many Orthodox Christians who found themselves settled for a time in the camp, having come to begin a new life in Australia after the turmoil of the Second World War.

Православная община на Тасмании отметила престольный праздник своего храма в день Воздвижения Честного Животворящего Креста Господня и 60-летие прихода.
По благословения митрополита Илариона, перво-иерарха РПЦЗ, торжественное Богослужение возглавил преосвященнейший Ириней, епископ австралийско-новозеландской епархии Сербской православной церкви. Ему также сослужили настоятель прихода митрофорный протоиерей Михаил Протопопов и сербский архимандрит Теодор Бойевич.
Храм был полон молящимися людьми, среди которых были и русские, и сербы, и греки. Служба велась одновременно на 4-х языках: церковно-славянском, сербском, греческом и английском. (more…)
