On Monday, June 1, 2020, the after-feast of the Ascension of the Lord, His Eminence Metropolitan Mark of Berlin and Germany celebrated Divine Liturgy at St Elizabeth Church in Wiesbaden, Germany, along with His Eminence Archbishop Tikhon of Podolsk. The archpastors were joined by a multitude of clergymen of the German and other dioceses.
In the center of the grand temple was the coffin of newly-reposed Archbishop Agapit of Stuttgart, who died on the feast of the Ascension of the Lord.
