[Regnum] The miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, kept in the cathedral on Red Square, will be transferred to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia announced this decision on May 5 after the festive Easter Vespers with the participation of numerous bishops and clergy of the capital’s churches. “Today I would like to transfer this holy image, which has become, as it were, my cell image, to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior,” said the patriarch. The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church also added that the icon will be delivered to the regions for veneration. As reported by IA Regnum, the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church on November 4 last year announced the discovery of the original of the miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. On this day, Orthodox Christians celebrate a holiday - the miraculous appearance of the image of the Mother of God of Kazan. The Patriarch said that the examination confirmed that the shrine belongs to the 16th century. He also added that the icon will be returned to the Kazan Cathedral on Red Square, where it was originally intended. The icon appeared in Kazan in 1579, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible. According to Patriarch Kirill, in recent years it was kept in the patriarchal residence in Peredelkino among other icons in a warehouse. It is known that in 1612, Prince Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin took the icon of the Kazan Mother of God with them on a campaign against the Polish-Swedish invaders. |
