The newly illumined had undergone approximately six months of catechetical instruction under the guidance of Fr. Daniel and catechist Augustin Orapine.
The day before, Fr. Daniel visited the parish of St. Seraphim of Sarov in the village of Mbaakir, also in Benue State, where he led a conversation on the fundamentals of the Orthodox faith for a group of catechumens, the majority of whom are Protestants.
