Metropolitan Nikita Takes His Seat in Krasnoyarsk and Achinsk
Here’s the scoop on the dude now adorning the episcopal seat in Krasnoyarsk and Achinsk: Nikita, formerly a bishop, was recently appointed metropolitan. Word on the street broke out around a month ago, but the big day finally happened on April 13.
The main event went down at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, where Patriarch Kirill, head honcho of the Russian Orthodox Church, bestowed Nikita with the metropolitan title. The senators representing Krasnoyarsk, Andrey Klishas and Alexander Us, attended the ceremony.
Before we dive into the developments, let's take a quick run through the previous metropolitan's departure. It was announced in late March that Panteleimon was retiring. A week after the announcement, Nikita touched down in Krasnoyarsk and conducted his inaugural religious service.
