On Memorial Day Monday each year, the annual Fort Ross chapel liturgy is held, followed with a procession to the cemetery, where a  large Russian Orthodox cross marks the site of the settlement’s cemetery.  One hundred thirty-one people were buried in the cemetery during the Russian-American Company’s thirty-year settlement.    This year, May 29 was no exception and the lunch (trapeza) which was held at the Our Lady of Kazan Church at Russian River was sponsored in part by the Congress of Russian Americans.  A group of parishioners from the Holy Ascension Church in Sacramento provided the delicious meal of traditional kavkaz shishlik and shurpa with various salads and pies for dessert.   Archbishop Kyrill and Bishop Theodosy along with V.Rev. Paul Volmensky, V.Rev Alexander Krassovsky, Archdeacon Peter Karakozoff, Deacon Alexei Baranoff and other clergy and nearly 75 guests were in attendance.
