The first year anniversary since the repose of the ever memorable Metropolitan Laurus was on March 16, 2009. On this day the blessing of the new marble tomb was performed by Archimandrite Luke, Abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery,  which was then  followed by a pannykhida service. Archimandrite Luke gave an inspiring talk on the life of Metropolitan Laurus, his simplicity, prayer life, and perseverance in his struggles amongst his sicknesses.

Part of the talk (in Russian) may be viewed here.
