Today the Holy Church honors the day of John the Theologian\u2019s repose who was the most beloved Savior's disciple. Being a young man, he left his home in response to John the Baptist\u2019s preaching the Messiah. He was one of three apostles who witnessed the Glory of Christ\u2019s Transfiguration on Mount Tabor. It was he who laid on the Savior's chest at the Last Supper in the Zion Upper Room, and then the only one who did flee seeing the Cross of the Savior. By the end of his earthly days St. John preached love that is a base of Theology.\nThis day is especially important for the Moscow Theological Academy students. St. John the Apostle is a patron saint of theological science and theologians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 9, it is also a day of honour of St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. As John the Theologian, the saint loved Christ with all his heart and did his best to preach the Good News. His path was difficult and thorny, but his love for the Lord turned out to be stronger than a fear of enemies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 8, Archimandrite Platon (Igumnov) headed the all-night vigil at the Academic Church of the Intercession of the Theotokos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
