On Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th of January, on the feast of Theophany Eve, His Grace Nicholas, Bishop of Manhattan, led the divine services in the Synodal Cathedral of the Sign in New York City.

At the All-Night Vigil, His Grace was co-served by cathedral clergy: senior priest Archpriest Andrei Sommer, Hieromonk Eutychius (Dovganyuk), Hieromonk Zosimas (Krampis), Protodeacon Vadim Gan, and Deacons Nazari Fataliev and Dionysius Lvov.

The following morning, Bishop Nicholas celebrated the Divine Liturgy, at which the above-mentioned clergy were joined by cathedral clerics Archpriest Petro Zgoba and Protodeacon Nicolas Mokhoff. Upon conclusion of the Liturgy, His Grace greeted a newly baptized boy, congratulating him and presenting him with an icon of the Guardian Angel. Following Liturgy was the Great Vespers service for Theophany Eve. The Great Vespers service for Theophany Eve then began, and ended with the Great Blessing of the Water, and Bishop Nicholas sprinkling all those present with holy water.

After the service, the faithful departed for a short while, eager to return that evening for the festal All-Night Vigil.
