\nThe consecration and raising of the cross took place on the Church of the Apostle Thomas under construction in Kinabalan, Philippines.
\nOn April 8, the dome and cross were installed on the church under construction in honor of the Apostle Thomas in the village of Kinabalan, Mindanao, Philippines.
\nEarlier, on April 3, diocesan secretary Hieromonk Korniliy (Molev) performed the rite of consecration of the dome and cross.
\nDue to the remoteness of the area, the dome was raised by hand. The height of the church, including the cross, is over 20 meters.
\nServices have already begun in the church. On the 5th Sunday of Great Lent, St. Mary of Egypt, the rector of the church, Priest Stefan Bingcal, celebrated the first Divine Liturgy in the church under construction.
\nAnd now the community will celebrate the feast of feasts\u2014Christ’s Pascha\u2014under the shadow of the cross shining atop the church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The consecration and raising of the cross took place on the Church of the Apostle Thomas under construction in Kinabalan, Philippines.
