collections, it will probably never be revealed to the world again, but it turned out that this is not so, the icon did not disappear anywhere, it remained in russia. pious people took care of it, at some point this icon was brought to the temple, thanks to an outstanding person, an art critic who devoted many years of his life to the study of ancient russian icon painting, thanks to this ... art historical examination, it was precisely determined that this image is the very image in the hands of which prince

pozharsky and minin liberated kitay-gorod, the kremlin and expelled the poles from our fatherland. in other words, what we have before us is historical. a shrine that is among the most precious shrines of the russian orthodox church. i will say a few words about how this shrine was found. of course, no one probably connected this particular image with the original image. he was in patriarch. in peredelkino, was found there, at least among other icons, but not hung on the walls, as usual
9:53 am
, located in a place in which icons were stored, gift icons, first of all, which were intended to then be given as gifts some temples, monasteries, the patriarch comes and still very often visiting this other temple or monastery, it is from that room that i take this or that icon and give it to the temple or monastery, in this very room i had to look at the images and choose some image for the next gift, i’m carefully talking about this very skillfully made fake, now they make it like this, that’s exactly antique icons , artists repeat all the flaws of ancient

9:55 am
talk about all this in church, but then i realized that it was impossible to hide this story. our people and the whole world must recognize them. and today this event is happening. after a thorough study of both the image itself and various circumstances related to its history, when i had not the slightest doubt that this was an original made the decision in this holy church to tell about this to all our people, to all of you, my dears, and through you, to the whole world, about a great event, about the birth of the miraculous image of the mother of god, who appeared as the savior of our people, perhaps in the most difficult times..
9:56 am
. moments in history when the question of whether to be or not to be in moscow was decided, and therefore to be or not to be, for all our people in our country, let’s hope that this shrine will save our people in our difficult times, protect our fatherland from enemies external internal as i say often, under its cover, i hope our lives will pass peacefully and prosperously, but for it to be so, we will say once again that there is an indispensable condition for the preservation of russia, this is the preservation of the orthodox faith, i am now addressing not only those who are in the church, but for those who are baptized but not churched, who call themselves orthodox but... are neither in their way of life, nor in their prayers, nor
