Tonsuring of Sr. Seraphina, Holy Theophany Monastery Olympia, WA

Glory to Jesus Christ!
It is with joy that I share these pictures from the tonsuring of Sister Seraphina into the Rason at Holy Theophany Monastery Olympia, WA. Abbot Nicholas of Holy Resurrection Monastery presided over this great event on the eve of the Feast of the Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple. May God grant us more monastic vocations!

"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."
