The ark with particles of the relics of the blessed Matrona of Moscow

2023-12-14

The ark with particles of the relics of the blessed Matrona of Moscow and the icon of the saint arrived at chapel and burial vault of the princes Svyatopolk-Mirskys on December 14, 2023. 
Blessed Matrona was an Orthodox Christian in the very deep and traditional meaning of the word. Compassion to people that came from the bottom of her loving heart, her prayer, the sign of the cross, her unfailing faithfulness to the holy statutes of the Orthodox Church were the core of her ardent spiritual life. The nature of her ministry originates in the centuries of godliness and piety. That is why her assistance to people bears spiritual fruit: people become firm in the Orthodox faith, they become attached to the Church outwardly and in their inner self, they actively participate in the daily life of prayer.
