On Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th of September, the brethren of Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY celebrated their lesser patronal feast, in honor of Venerable Job of Pochaev. The divine services were officiated by His Grace Luke, Bishop of Syracuse and abbot of the monastery.
The traditions and history of the Holy Trinity Monastery are very much connected with the famous Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra in Volhynia, present-day Ukraine. Although the monastery was founded in 1930 by Archimandrite Panteleimon (Nizhnik; +1984), they were joined in 1946 by a group of 14 monks from St. Job of Pochaev Monastery in Ladomirová, Czechoslovakia, who had fled the area as the Red Army approached, and eventually found their new home in Holy Trinity Monastery. Thus began the intimate connection with the traditions of the Pochaev Lavra, one of the most famous Russian monasteries.
