Commemorated on March 30
The
establishment of this Feast and the composition of the Service are the
work of Archimandrite Antonin Kapustin (+ 1894), head of the Russian
Orthodox Mission in Jerusalem.
The Gorneye Convent in Jerusalem,
built on the site of the Meeting of the Theotokos and St Elizabeth,
celebrates this Feast on March 30. If March 30 should fall between
Lazarus Saturday and Pascha, however, the Feast is transferred to Bright
Friday.
