He was assisted by a great assembly of bishops and priests.<\/p>\n
Before the service, Metropolitan Hilarion venerated the main shrine of the church \u2013 the revered Icon of the Our Lady the Joy to All the Afflicted.<\/p>\n
The Moscow Synodal Choir conducted by Russia\u2019s Honoured Artist A. Puzakov sang during the liturgy. The composition devoted to St. Hilarion the New, the Wonder-worker of Dalmatia, by modern composer A. Mikita was performed for the first time.<\/p>\n
Among the worshippers were Mr. Ferenc Nagy-Rebek, Hungary\u2019s envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, Mr. Laszlo Sasfalvi, state secretary of Hungary\u2019s Ministry of Public Administration and Justice, Mr. L. Sevastyanov, executive director of St. Gregory the Theologian Charity. There was a multitude of people who came to greet Metropolitan Hilarion on that day significant for him.<\/p>\n
After the liturgy, Archbishop Kirill of Yaroslavl and Rostov read out a congratulatory message from His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.<\/p>\n
Addressing Metropolitan Hilarion on behalf of his fellow-bishops, Archbishop Kirill said, \u2018God has endowed you with many talents and with power. Today we celebrate the memory of all saints who pleased God, and on this day we ardently greet you on the occasion of the feast of your patron saint, St. Hilarion the New, whose name you were given when you took monastic vows. I would like to wish you that you may carry out your archpastoral ministry continuing the cause of many generations who stood firm in the faith of the bishops of the Russian Church and who defended Orthodoxy by their lives in their homeland. Obedience to the Church compels you to be out of the country a great deal of time, but it is often outside our motherland that there are especially acute challenges that the evil and godless world poses before holy Orthodoxy.<\/p>\n
\u2018We wish you that the numerous gifts which the Lord has granted you and which you have acquired in your profound desire to serve the Throne of God and the Russian people may be strengthened\u2019, he said.<\/p>\n
Then \u2018Many Years of Life\u2026\u2019 to Metropolitan Hilarion was sung by the choir together with the whole congregation.<\/p>\n
