Ordination in Auckland
After the Festal lunch in Christchurch, Vladyka traveled to Auckland. Vigil was celebrated in the Church of the Resurrection. The Divine Liturgy on Sunday morning was served in the Serbian church, since the altar of the Russian church was not large enough to accommodate the clergy (especially during the ordination of Fr Daniil Millwood to the Priesthood), and the Serbian church is larger.
