In a celebration that began with Divine Liturgy, the relics of St Verena were joyfully received by the Coptic convent of St Catherine and St Verena in the Diocese of Los Angeles, California. Participating in Mass were a number of US Coptic Orthodox bishops.
The relics had been brought from the church of St Verena in Zurich, Switzerland, by Metropolitan Serapion of LA, and Bishop Kyrillos of LA, who were together on a visit to Switzerland one week earlier; in presence of Father Isidorus al-Samueli, Pastor of the Coptic Church in Zurich.
