Russia: One day only! Thousands flock to see revered Virgin Mary icon
Thousands of people flocked to the Church of All Saints in Novokosino, Moscow on Sunday to look at the Icon of the Virgin Mary's Belt (Greek: Cincture of the Theotokos), which is in the city for one day only. The icon was bought to Moscow with the help and mediation of the Foundation of St. Andrew, the Centre of National Glory and the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill I.

Казанский собор воспринимался современниками как памятник ратных побед русского народа в Отечественной войне 1812 года. В 1812 году сюда доставлены трофеи: военные французские знамёна и личный жезл наполеоновского маршала Даву. Здесь же был похоронен фельдмаршал Кутузов.
До конца 1829 года в соборе продолжалась работа по отделке, которой руководил Огюст Монферран. Первый ремонт в соборе прошёл в 1844—1845 годах, второй, включавший в себя реставрацию образов и стенной живописи, — в 1862—1865 годах.
Несмотря на культовый характер здания, площадь перед ним всегда привлекала интерес революционно настроенных масс. 6 (18) декабря 1876 года здесь произошла первая демонстрация народнической группы «Земля и воля» и впервые выступил Георгий Плеханов (после октябрьской революции его временный памятник находился между изваяниями Кутузова и Барклая-де-Толли). Здесь достигали пика студенческие демонстрации, начинавшиеся у Аничкова моста. В Кровавое воскресенье 1905 года толпа соорудила баррикады из скамеек в только что оформившемся сквере у собора.
27 октября (8 ноября) 1893 года в соборе отпевали Петра Чайковского.
21 февраля (6 марта) 1913 года в соборе во время празднования 300-летия дома Романовых произошла давка, по официальной версии, унёсшая жизни 34 человек.
24 мая (6 июня) 1917 года в соборе путём «свободного голосования клира и мирян» состоялись выборы правящего архиерея (единственный раз за всю истории епархии). Большинство голосов выборщиков получил епископ Гдовский Вениамин.
18 января 1921 года митрополит Вениамин освятил «пещерный» зимний придел священномученика Гермогена, патриарха Московского.
Kazan Cathedral or Kazanskiy Kafedralniy Sobor (Russian: Каза́нский кафедра́льный собо́р), also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, is a cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church on the Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan, probably the most venerated icon in Russia.
The construction was started in 1801 and continued for ten years while being supervised by Alexander Sergeyevich Stroganov. Upon its completion in 1811, the new temple replaced the Church of Nativity of the Theotokos, which was disassembled when the Kazan Cathedral was consecrated.
It was modelled by Andrey Voronikhin after the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Some art historians assert that Emperor Paul intended to build a similar church on the other side of Nevsky Prospect that would mirror the Kazan Cathedral but his plans failed to materialize.[citation needed] Although the Russian Orthodox Church strongly disapproved of the plans to create a replica of a Catholic basilica in Russia's then capital, several courtiers supported Voronikhin's Empire Style design.
After Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812, and the commander-in-chief Mikhail Kutuzov asked Our Lady of Kazan for help, the church's purpose was to be altered. The Patriotic War over, the cathedral was perceived primarily as a memorial to the Russian victory against Napoleon. Kutuzov himself was interred in the cathedral in 1813; and Alexander Pushkin wrote celebrated lines meditating over his sepulchre. In 1815, keys to seventeen cities and eight fortresses were brought by the victorious Russian army from Europe and placed in the cathedral's sacristy. In 1837, Boris Orlovsky designed two bronze statues of Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly in front of the cathedral.
In 1876, the Kazan demonstration, the first political demonstration in Russia, took place in front of the church. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the cathedral was closed. In 1932 it was reopened as the pro-Marxist Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism. Services were resumed in 1992, and four years later the cathedral was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. Now it is the mother cathedral of the metropolis of St. Petersburg.
The cathedral's interior, with its numerous columns, echoes the exterior colonnade and is reminiscent of a palatial hall, being 69 metres in length and 62 metres in height. The interior features numerous sculptures and icons created by the best Russian artists of the day. A wrought iron grille separating the cathedral from a small square behind it is sometimes cited as one of the finest ever created.
The cathedral's huge bronze doors are one of three copies of the original doors of the Baptistry in Florence, Italy (the other two are in San Francisco and on the Baptistry itself).

STORYLINE:
A Russian icon that hung for years in Pope John Paul II's private chapel returned home to the Russian Orthodox Church on Saturday, a gesture the ailing pontiff hopes will improve relations between the two churches.
A senior Vatican delegation, headed by Cardinal Walter Kasper, handed over the 18th century replica of the Mother of God of Kazan icon to Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II during an Orthodox service marking the Feast of the Assumption in the Kremlin's Assumption Cathedral.
The 84-year-old John Paul, the Roman Catholic Church's first Slavic pope, has long hoped to visit Russia, and initially considered returning the icon himself.
But while the collapse of the atheist Soviet state made it possible to conceive of such a visit, the faith free-for-all that followed in Russia soured relations between the churches, giving birth to a new kind of antagonism and distrust a millennium after the Great Schism divided Christianity into eastern and western branches.
The Orthodox Church has accused the Vatican of trying to poach converts among Russian Orthodox believers, while the Catholic Church counters that it is trying to minister to the small Catholic community - about 600,000 people or less than 1 percent of Russia's 144 million.
Alexy emphasised earlier this month that the Pope is not welcome in Russia, telling President Vladimir Putin that the icon is just one of many copies so there is no reason for John Paul to personally deliver it.
The 32 by 26 centimetre (12 by 10 inch) icon, taken to the West after the 1917 Russian Revolution, was presented to the pope by a Catholic group in 1993 and has hung in his private chapel.
The original icon, which first appeared in the Volga River city of Kazan in 1579, is revered by Russian believers for its purported ability to work miracles, including the rout of Polish invaders from Russia in the early 17th century.
It hung in the Kazan Cathedral on Moscow's Red Square and the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg before disappearing.
A joint commission including representatives of the Vatican, the Russian church and the Russian Culture Ministry examined the pope's icon last year and determined it dated from around the 18th century.
But, nevertheless, the pope has said that it is dear to him, noting that it has watched over his daily work and the Vatican has emphasised this in talking about its return.

STORYLINE:
Religious faith was sorely tested across Russia on Saturday when tens of thousands of Orthodox Christians braved wintry conditions to take a dip in frigid outdoor waters as part of an annual celebration known as Theophany, also known as the Epiphany in Western countries.
The holiday commemorates Jesus Christ's baptism in the river Jordan by the last prophet of the Old Testament, Joan the Precursor or John the Baptist.
Orthodox legend holds that all natural watercourses on this day take on curative powers -- a panacea that lures devotees into ice-covered holy rivers and lakes across the country.
In keeping with tradition Orthodox services began on Friday night, lead by the church's Russian patriarch, Alexi II, who delivered a service in Moscow's Yelokhovsky Cathedral.
On Saturday morning most of Moscow's 300 Orthodox churches were crammed to overflowing with the believers who were less adventurous and content to be doused with holy water rather than risk a head-to-toe plunge in freezing water.
Theophany is sometimes called Twelfth Night.
In Hispanic and Latin culture it is known as Three Kings Day (el Dia de los Tres Reyes, la Fiesta de Reyes, or el Dia de los Reyes Magos).

Uglic (Russia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Uglic in Russia.
On the upper reaches of the Volga, around two hundred and eighty kilometres north of Moscow, is the Russian town of Uglič. The Dimitrijvskaija Church is crowned with blue, onion-shaped domes that are adorned with stars. It was built in 1692 out of stone and replaced a wooden church. Everywhere are illustrations of the mysterious death of the heir to the throne on the fifteenth of May, 1591. The red colour of the church is a symbol of bloodshed. Ivan the Terrible had two sons. The eldest, Fjodor Ivanovitch, was thought to be insane but was crowned anyway and was supported by Boris Godunov. As Godunov’s sister, Irina, was married to Fjodor Ivanovitch, his dream of becoming Tsar was almost a reality. When news that the eight year old, Zarevitch, had fatally run into a knife while playing, it caused havoc. Three hundred years later the symbol of the Dimitrijevskaija Blood Church was returned to the place in which the savage deed had taken place. Subsequently, the Romanov Dynasty ruled for three centuries and Uglič became a place of sadness and remembrance of one of the most spectacular events in Russian history.

Antique Russian Orthodox Crucifix
I was told that this is a variety of Eastern Orthodox crucifix called Kiot Crucifix. Kiot - in Greek, a box - it is a case to store icons. Outwardly kiot is a glazed box or a special glazed cabinet. Originally kiot came from [the Jewish] religious tradition [in which] to keep the Torah scrolls. In the earliest ages of Christianity kiot was used as a showcase [for] objects of worship. Materials [...] used for kiots - wood, copper, bronze and gilt. Kiot can be hung on a wall or placed on an icon stand. (

STORYLINE
The leader of Russia's Roman Catholics called on Friday for Catholics to pray for Pope John Paul II.
Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz told the faithful gathered in Moscow's Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception that the 84-year-old
pontiff's health dramatically worsened on Thursday evening.
At a mass held to pray for John Paul, the Archbishop called on Catholics in Russia to offer their prayers for the pope's life.
Tensions have increased markedly between the Russian Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and communist restrictions on religion faded.
The Russian Orthodox leadership has accused Catholics of poaching converts in Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Union.
The dispute has blocked a papal visit to Russia, a long-held wish of the Polish-born pontiff.
Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II, himself hospitalised last August for what he said was heart arrhythmia, wished John Paul a swift recovery a month ago.
There are an estimated 600-thousand Catholics in Russia.
The pope suffered heart failure during treatment for a urinary tract infection and was in very serious condition on Friday, the Vatican said.
It denied an Italian news report that the pope was in a coma.
