Synaxis of All Saints of Alaska

On the anniversary of the arrival of the Russian missionaries in Alaska (1794), we remember the New Martyrs: St. Peter the Aleut, Protomartyr of America, and St Juvenal.

The other recognized Saints of Alaska on this day are St. Herman the Wonderworker, the Missionary Priest, Husband, Father, Widower, Bishop, and eventually Metropolitan of Moscow, St. Innocent, and his Russian/Aleut co-worker, the Priest and Widower St. Jacob Netsvetov.

Here is a GREAT (short) video of these saints: http://doaoca.org/video.html 

Of course, you can always make foods native to Alaska to commemorate these saints on their Feast Day too!
