English Translation by Nina Tkachuk Dimas

On August 28th, the patronal feast of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Orthodox community in Beijing glorified the Mother of God in prayer and divine services on the territory of the Embassy of Russia. Following the Divine Liturgy, there was a service of prayer (moleben) with the blessing of water and a procession to the walls of Holy Dormition temple; restoration work is to begin in the next few months.

On August 29th priest Dionisy Pozdnyaev of DECR/MP congratulated Russia's newly-appointed Plenipotentiary Ambassador to the Chinese People's Republic, S.S. Razov, on presenting his credentials on the same day; he wished him blessed success in his work and discussed a wide variety of issues concerning the restoration of Holy Dormition temple and church-state interaction in matters pertaining to the pastoral care for Orthodox compatriots and the fellow citizens living on the territory of the People's Republic of China.
