On September 9-10, 2025, on the day of the finding of the honorable relics of St. Job, abbot of Pochaiv, thousands of believers gathered for solemn services at the Holy Dormition Pochaiv Lavra. The video of the celebration was published by the monastery's press service.
On September 9, the all-night vigil was held at the Transfiguration Cathedral of the Lavra, during which thousands of believers were able to venerate the holy relics of Venerable Job with prayer. The holy relics were carried in a procession from the Cave Church, where they are normally kept.
On September 10, the Divine Liturgy at the Transfiguration Cathedral of the Lavra was led by Metropolitan Sergius of Ternopil and Kremenets, with the concelebration of bishops and clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
After the dismissal, the reliquary with the incorrupt relics of Venerable Job was carried back to the Cave Church.
On September 10, the Church commemorates the finding of the honorable relics of Venerable Job, Abbot and Wonderworker of Pochaiv. For 373 years, faithful Christians have been able to approach the holy relics of God's servant Job, which still rest in the Holy Dormition Pochaiv Lavra, and are a clear testimony to the truth of the words of the True God, who said: "I will honor those who honor me" (1 Sam. 2:30). St. Job showed special zeal in the struggle for salvation, love for God and neighbor from childhood. Due to his zeal and devotion to God, the saint received great spiritual gifts at a fairly young age, with which he glorified the Triune God and guided all who came to him for advice on the right path leading to salvation.
As reported by the UOJ, thousands of believers of the UOC venerated the miraculous icon of the Mother of God in the Pochaiv Lavra.
