The monastic brotherhood of the Monastery of Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk has announced the 121st annual Memorial Day Pilgrimage to take place from May 23 to May 26, 2025.

We will also welcome the visitation of the Hawaiian Iveron Icon of the Mother of God.
Pilgrimage events include Memorial Day Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, a healing service to the Mother of God, and the St. Tikhon Choir in Concert on Sunday afternoon celebrating the 100th anniversary of the repose of St. Tikhon of Moscow. More info & tickets for the Sunday concert can be found here.
We also invite all singers to come join the St. Tikhon’s Festival Choir for the weekend! Our Festival Choir will enjoy two days of rehearsals and singing for the Memorial Day Hierarchical Liturgy Monday morning. Full details and registration for the festival choir can be found here.
