On July 18, 2024, a special day at the Antiochian Village, our clergy and faithful were reminded that saints are not only spiritually present, but also physically present.

The relics of St. Raphael of Brooklyn and other clergy buried with him were exhumed from their grave and washed. Then, His Eminence Metropolitan Saba led a procession to translate St. Raphael’s holy relics to their new home in St. Ignatius Church where they are already being venerated.

Relive that special day and participate in history through this new video produced by Constantine Kallaur, Director of Communications at the Antiochian Village. May St. Raphael intercede to God for us!
