His Eminence, Metropolitan Laurus of Eastern America and New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, has reposed in the Lord.
From what I have heard, he served the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts on Friday, then felt too ill to perform tonsures later that evening. He was found in his "skete" (his small cell a few hundred yards from the monastery) this morning, having reposed in his sleep.
The Lord chose to receive Vladyka Laurus on the Sunday of Orthodoxy...
Please pray for the soul of the newly-departed servant of God, Metropolitan Laurus.
May his memory be eternal!
