For many years we dreamed to bow to Joann of Shanghai. From Vancouver to San-Francisco there are 1280 kilometers. We arrived in the evening, stopped in the hotel. In the morning we went for the liturgy to the Holy Virgin Joy of All Who Sorrow Cathedral, San Francisco, CA (The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, www.sfsobor.com).
We purchased icons, applied them to the relics of Joann of Shanghai, prayed.
After the liturgy we were introduced to Bishop THEODOSIUS of Seattle, who proved to be modest, attentive to people and very bright person. On the blessings of bishop we visited Joann of Shanghai’s cell.
