Three Romanian Saints are waiting for pilgrims on the Patriarchate’s Hill in Bucharest. The holy relics of St Demetrios the New, St Dionysius Erhan and St Philothea were placed in the baldachin next to the Patriarchal Cathedral following the annual procession ‘The Way of the Saints’ that drew pilgrims on the streets of Bucharest on Friday.

The relics of Saint Demetrios the New were carried in procession from the Patriarchal Cathedral on Queen Maria Ave and met with the ‘guests of honour’ at the Brancovenesque Cross at the foot of the Patriarchate’s Hill.
