Recovery of the relics of Saint Job of Pochaev

Saint Job of Pochaev reposed on October 28, 1651, and his relics were recovered and transferred to the Cathedral of the Life-giving Trinity on August 28, 1659.

The Uniates returned Pochaev Monastery to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1831, after they had held it from 1720 - 1831. During that time the present Cathedral of the Dormition was built at Pochaev Lavra.

Miraculous cures prompted the Holy Synod to uncover the relics a second time, which occurred on August 28, 1833 with Metropolitan Dionysios presiding. There was no sign of corruption, and an ineffable fragrance came forth from his grave.

In the year 1902, the Holy Synod decreed that on this day the holy relics of Saint Job be carried around the Dormition Cathedral of Pochaev Lavra following the Divine Liturgy.
