On the memorial day of the Cathedral of the Twelve Apostles, on July 13, a water procession with a particle of the relics of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called took place on the Marine Facade in St. Petersburg. It is being celebrated for the second time, and was organized by the parish of the future church dedicated to the apostle, with the support of the General's Club, the Marine Facade Passenger Port, Smolenka Yacht Club and the Astra Marine shipping company.
The flags of Russia, St. Petersburg, St. Andrew's Banner and the flag of the Smolenka Yacht Club were raised on the embankment. The Russian national anthem was played. The sailing ship "Poltava" fired a salvo.

The clergy came out to meet the shrine with a fragment of the relics of St. Andrew the First-Called, which was transferred to the captain's salon of the yacht club.

The dean of the Vasileostrovsky district, Archpriest Evgeny Shogenov, performed a prayer service to the Apostle Andrew, co-served by archpriests Mikhail Pogiblov, Pavel Kudryashov, and the rector of the future church, Priest Kirill Pogiblov.

The relics were transferred to the Peterhof Express motor ship. On the way, a prayer service was held for the health of the defenders of the Fatherland. The ship circled the Gulf of Finland. 

Upon returning to the port, the shrine was taken back to the temple. 

The field kitchen was working. Excursions to the sailing ship "Poltava", a replica of the ship of Peter the Great's time, were organized for those who wished.
