Our father among the [[saint]]s '''Tikhon of Moscow'''(Russian:'''Святитель Тихон, Патриарх Московский и всея Руси''') (1865–1925), [[Enlightener]] of North America, was Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia (1917–1925). "He established his cathedral in New York City, and presided over a vast [[Archdiocese]], encouraging and authorizing many publications in the English language. Among these, he encouraged the translation of the Eastern [[liturgy]] into English by Isabel Florence Hapgood, and he wrote an extensive [[catechism]] based on the [[Nicene Creed]] and the [[Lord's Prayer|Our Father]]. For the [[Western Rite]], he established the corrected and authorized version of the eucharistic liturgy from the American Book of Common Prayer for Orthodox worship." [http://www.westernorthodox.com/connely] His [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[April 7]] by [[New Calendar]] churches, on [[March 25]] by [[Old Calendar]] churches, and his [[glorification]] is celebrated on [[October 9]]/[[September 26]], and [[February 5]]/[[January 26]] as new-martyr.
