Moldova‑Romania Orthodox liturgies July 2026

On July 5, 2026 Metropolitan Vladimir, head of the Moldovan Orthodox Church, celebrated the Holy Liturgy at Chișinău’s Cathedral of the Birth of the Lord, with Bishop Filaret later leading a parallel service at the Căpriana Monastery. Both services focused on Gospel passages describing the healing of the demoniacs.

Nearly three weeks later, on July 26, 2026, the liturgical commemorations continued. In Moldova, Metropolitan Vladimir again presided over the Divine Liturgy at the Nativity of the Lord Cathedral, joined by Bishop Filaret as concelebrant. In neighboring Romania, Archbishop Ciprian conducted the Holy Liturgy at the Vadu Sorești Parish, emphasizing the miracles of the loaves and fishes. The two events illustrate coordinated post‑Pentecost worship across the two countries, highlighting shared theological themes and ongoing collaboration among Orthodox clergy in the region.
