Légende

Memorial service for the late Emperor of Russia in the Greek Church, Moscow-Road, Bayswater, 1881. 'Religious services in all the churches and chapels of the Greek or Russian Orthodox communion, attached to the Russian Legations or maintained for the use of Russians who are resident in foreign countries, have been held in most of the chief cities of Europe, during the past ten days, to pray for the repose of the late Emperor's soul. Our illustration shows the scene at a service of this kind on Sunday last at the Greek Church in Moscow-road, Bayswater [in London], where a Requiem Mass was chanted, under the direction of the Rev. H. Myriantheus, the Archimandrite'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
