First Translation of the relics of St Herman the Archbishop of Kazan

Commemorated on September 25

Today we commemorate the first translation of the relics of Saint Herman, Archbishop of Kazan, in 1595.

After his death on November 6, 1567 he was buried in the church of St Nicholas the Hospitable. In 1595, at the request of the inhabitants of Sviyazhsk, the saint's relics were transferred from Moscow to the Sviyazhsk Dormition monastery. St Herman is also commemorated on November 6 (his repose) and June 23 (second transfer of his relics in 1714).
